Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to advance and promote oral health through dental services provided under contract with independent professional service providers, support for research and education, and community outreach directed toward securing access to quality dental care for all.
The DDF’s general grant guidelines say it considers a request’s program, the people served, accountability and fundraising practices, community engagement, alternative funding sources, program viability, and potential impact on oral health or dental science. Grants may also support specific school programs from prekindergarten through grade 12, and university or college programs. Its Community Mini-grants are limited to local nonprofit programs promoting oral health in Michigan, Ohio, or Indiana, with particular interest in access to dental care for at-risk populations, oral health care and education for pregnant women and babies, and children’s oral health, especially in school settings.
The 2024 grantees included organizations with a range of missions. Life Remodeled said it works to revitalize Detroit neighborhoods equitably and sustainably; United Way of Northwest Michigan said it works to improve lives and advance the common good in its region; and Impression 5 Science Center said it sparks curiosity and scientific exploration through hands-on exhibits and programming.
Grantmaking
The 2024 filing reports 60 grants totaling $3,964,285. The median grant was $25,000; grants ranged from $5,500 to $1,500,000. The largest listed award was $1,500,000 to the Delta Dental Foundation. Other large awards included $500,000 to Life Remodeled, $200,000 each to Michigan Humane Society and United Way of Northwest Michigan, and $100,000 to Road to Michigan’s Future. The filing lists the purposes of these grants as charitable donations.
The filing also describes an $80,000 donation to Cristo Rey Community Center to support a computer system for its new medical and dental clinic, and a $75,000 award to Impression 5 for STEM kits for Head Start students and other children. Separately, the organization reported that in 2024 the DDF committed nearly $6.1 million in grants, scholarships, and educational resources. That figure includes more than grants alone.
For general grants, applicants are directed to complete and submit a grant request application. Each recipient must submit a reporting form within one year of receiving funds or before receiving additional funding, whichever comes first. General grants do not normally support building construction or an organization’s normal overhead, including salaries. Other exclusions include individuals, with specified exceptions for DDF awards and grants; discriminatory organizations; political activities, organizations, or campaigns; loans; and commercial or proprietary projects. The Community Mini-grants program has additional restrictions, including no funding for capital campaigns, salaries, overhead or administrative expenses, endowments, advertising, or fundraising activities. Mini-grants are capped at $5,000, and an organization may receive no more than one per calendar year.
How to Apply
The DDF’s website provides a grant request application for general grants and separate guidelines for Community Mini-grants. Applicants should review the relevant guidelines and submit the required application; funded organizations must complete the reporting form on the stated schedule.
