About FDHF

The Florida Dental Health Foundation is a charitable and educational organization established by the Florida Dental Association in 1980. Its mission is to generate and direct resources for charitable and educational oral health programs for the people of Florida.

An 18-member Board of Directors governs the foundation. The Board consists of private practicing dentists and representatives of allied dental organizations and corporations. Its revenue is generated through tax-deductible gifts received from annual and planned-giving programs, major gift and endowment campaigns and private and public grants.

The FDHF is a major funding agency of these areas, which organized dentistry supports:

• humanitarian efforts in dentistry
• continuing professional education programs
• preventive dental education programs
• dental access programs for underserved populations
• school dental health education
• scholarships for allied dental education
• grants for recruitment of students for allied dental careers
• disaster loans and grants for dentists

The foundation accepts immediate contributions of cash, publicly traded securities, closely held securities, real property, tangible personal property and life-long gifts in the forms of bequests, deferred gift annuities, trusts and endowed funds. For further information contact:
