Posted on January 15, 2025 in Foundation

The Delta Dental of Iowa Foundation is now accepting 2025 funding requests for oral and overall health projects that help advance their mission to strengthen and transform the health and smiles of all Iowans. As a major funder of oral and overall health projects in Iowa, the Foundation typically invests more than $3 million in Iowa nonprofits and community initiatives annually. Grants from the Foundation range from toothbrush donations to support oral health education projects, to indoor and outdoor water bottle filling stations for schools, libraries, and public outdoor spaces, to large grants of more than $100,000.  

Funding from the Foundation will be directed through three strategic focus areas: education and advocacy, access and prevention, and policy and research. Programs and projects considered by the Foundation will advance health equity in the following categories:

• Oral health – Projects that promote healthy smiles for all Iowans
• Oral and overall health integration – Projects that strengthen connections between dental, physical, and emotional health
• Overall health – Wellness, vision, and related activities to help Iowans live healthy and active lives
