Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation’s mission is to improve the oral health of all Oklahomans by increasing access to dental care, funding oral health education, and supporting organizations that address vital oral health needs in their communities.
Its grant program funds four areas: charitable dentistry and access to care; public education; professional education; and research and ancillary programs. Supported projects must relate to dental health or education, serve Oklahomans, and not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, or religion.
The Foundation’s website lists registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits, educational institutions, and government agencies as eligible applicants and says it does not award grants to individuals. Its 2024 filing narrative also identifies faith-based organizations serving all community members regardless of religious belief as eligible.
Examples of supported organizations illustrate the range of work funded. Crossings Community Clinic describes its mission as offering free medical, dental, eye care, and counseling to people in need. Neighborhood Services Organization says it works to transform lives through safe, healthy homes, dental care, and nutrition. The Oklahoma Dental Foundation describes its mission as eliminating barriers to oral health care for Oklahomans.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2024, the Foundation made 25 grants totaling $2,522,277. Grants ranged from $10,000 to $463,905, with a median grant of $60,000.
The largest 2024 grants included $463,905 to the University of Oklahoma Foundation for an educational purpose; $358,000 to Crossings Community Clinic and $315,562 to Neighborhood Services Organization for dental care programs; and $197,000 to Tri County Tech Center for a dental care program. Other major awards included $181,000 to D-DENT for an educational purpose and $151,000 to Eastern Oklahoma Donated Dental Services for a dental care program.
The Foundation’s website announced nearly $4 million in 2026 funding for 65 free and low-cost dental care programs and clinics, dental education clinics and programs, and oral health initiatives statewide.
Grant requests must be submitted through the Foundation’s online grant management system. Applicants are directed to review the Funding Guidelines and Priorities.
