Application Guidelines
CDA Foundation recognizes that the need for dental supplies and materials is crucial to providing access to care for all Californians, particularly in underserved and culturally-diverse communities. The CDA Foundation in partnership with Henry Schein, Inc., addresses this issue through the dental materials and supplies grants, which awarded recipient organization (nonprofit or clinics in underserved communities) receive donated supplies and materials that are necessary for their establishment to operate and provide care.
Selected organizations will receive between $5,000 - $25,000 of goods per year for two years. The only cost to a recipient organization is the shipping cost of the goods.
