Delta Dental Foundation Oral Health Grants

About this program

The Delta Dental Foundation (DDF) provides grants supporting oral health access, advocacy, education, and workforce development, with particular interest in advancing oral health equity for people with disabilities. Proposed programs should align with DDF’s strategic plan, serve clearly defined communities, demonstrate measurable outcomes, and include sound accountability and sustainability plans. Eligible applicants are nonprofits, government agencies, schools, colleges, and universities serving Michigan, Ohio, or Indiana; funding generally excludes individuals, construction, indirect or normal overhead costs, political activities, and commercial projects. Applications are reviewed quarterly, with 2026 deadlines on February 10, June 1, August 24, and November 4, and recipients must submit a report within one year or before receiving additional funding.
