Philanthropy: Grants in Oral Health

About this program

CareQuest Institute for Oral Health offers grants to drive oral health systems change, supporting policy and advocacy, community capacity and voice, care delivery, and research aimed at expanding access, integrating oral and medical systems, leveraging technology, and advancing health equity. Priority funding areas include advancing federal and state policies (for example, pursuing a comprehensive Medicare dental benefit or strengthening Medicaid dental benefits) and projects that meaningfully engage community-driven partners. Applicant organizations must follow CareQuest’s three-step grant application process and meet eligibility criteria posted on the institute’s website, so prospective applicants should review the application requirements and grantee benefits before applying.
