About Us
A healthy mouth leads to a healthy life.
For more than 25 years, Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation has partnered with community-based organizations to drive meaningful change. Through strategic investments, policy advocacy, and systems change, we work to eliminate oral health disparities and grow an oral health workforce that reflects the demographics of our communities.
We believe in listening first, and in the power of collective action driven by a shared vision. Together with our community partners, we’re working towards a Colorado where everyone has the opportunity for a healthy mouth and a healthy life.
Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation is funded by Delta Dental of Colorado, a nonprofit dental insurance company dedicated to improving the oral health of all Coloradans for more than 65 years.
