Donor Spotlight: Henry Schein Cares and CDA Foundation Partner to bring Millions in Supplies to Struggling Community Clinics
Over the last five years, the CDA Foundation has been the gatekeeper and partner organization for the Henry Schein Cares dental materials and supply grant program in California. Through the CDA Foundation Dental Materials and Supplies Grant, nearly 70 nonprofit organizations have received more than $1.5 million worth of much needed supplies.
Working in partnership with Henry Schein Cares, the Dental Materials and Supplies Grant Program makes a profound impact to recipient nonprofit dental organizations by providing a broad selection of dental products and materials. The in-kind donation of products and materials helps these organizations enhance the quality of dental care for underserved individuals and families in local California communities.
This unique program blends Henry Schein’s commitment to giving back to the industry and community in which they serve, with the mission of the CDA Foundation to improve the oral health of all Californians by supporting the dental profession and its efforts to meet community needs.
"We applaud the valuable work of the CDA Foundation and are privileged to support that work through Henry Schein Cares, our global social responsibility program,” said Tim Sullivan, President, Henry Schein Dental, the U.S. Dental business of Henry Schein, Inc. “The goals of CDA and Henry Schein Cares align well with the objective of expanding access to oral healthcare to those in our society who are most in need.”
Henry Schein has committed to continue to support the Dental Materials and Supplies Grant Program at the same level for the next five years.
This year, 11 nonprofit dental organizations will receive the benefits of this partnership and the philanthropic efforts of Henry Schein Cares. To learn more about the Dental Materials and Supplies Grant, visit cdafoundation.org/receive.
