About the DTA Foundation Grants

The DTA Foundation has given out over $1,100,000 in grant funding since the inception of the grant program in 2002. Past recipients have used DTA Foundation seed money for innovative programs designed to improve the access to and productivity of the oral health care system by identifying, nurturing, and leveraging promising projects.

In 2013, the DTA Foundation and the Dental Lifeline Network joined forces to create a grant program to specifically support projects that provide access to comprehensive dentistry for society’s most vulnerable individuals with disabilities or who are elderly or medically at-risk and have no other way to get help.
