Description
The AGD Foundation Grant Program provides financial support for nonprofit organizations and AGD constituents in the United States and Canada to promote oral and oropharyngeal cancer awareness, education, and free screening activities. The program aims to increase public knowledge and early detection of oral cancers, especially in underserved communities with limited access to oral health care due to geographic or economic hardship. Since 2012, the Foundation has funded a wide range of projects, including mobile screening units, community outreach, and educational campaigns.
