Description
This grant opportunity, offered by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry Foundation (AAPD Foundation), funds U.S.-based organizations working to improve access to dental care for underserved or limited-access children. The program supports projects that directly expand or enhance dental care delivery to children who might otherwise go without essential oral health services. Funding may be used for a wide range of expenses, provided they are directly linked to providing dental care for children, including salaries, equipment, transportation, education materials, and more. The aim is to reduce disparities in pediatric oral health and foster lifelong healthy habits among vulnerable populations.
