Colorado Dental Service Inc
Colorado Dental Service Inc, based in Centennial, Colorado, filed as a public charity. Its 2020 filing identifies it as doing business as Delta Dental of Colorado and says it merged with a newly created successor entity on August 1, 2020. The filing is marked as the organization’s final return, and no later filing is listed; it therefore appears to have wound down or stopped grantmaking. Its final reported grants supported the Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation and a range of other organizations.
