For 70 years, the ADHA Foundation (formerly Institute for Oral Health) has supported students, researchers and community programs that expand access to care and elevate the dental hygiene profession. In collaboration with the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA), we transform generosity into opportunity through:

• Scholarships that help students and hygienists learn and grow
• Grants that advance innovative research, address health care inequities, and strengthen professional development

Your donation will support initiatives like these ADHA Foundation-funded programs that:

• Delivered mobile preventive care to 6,000+ rural patients  
• Provided oral care to 1,000+ underserved children and caregivers
• Brought onsite oral care to seniors on Medicaid
• Gave uninsured patients access to restorative care
• Funded a study on implicit bias and diversity in dental hygiene
• Taught oral health skills to Minnesota children living in foster care
