Apply for a Grant
At Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation, we know oral health is essential to overall health and well-being. Yet too many Coloradans face barriers to care based on who they are, where they live, or what they earn. That’s why we’re committed to advancing oral health equity across the state.
Our 2026 Grant Opportunity supports community-driven solutions that align with our commitment to advancing oral health equity across Colorado. Together with our community partners, we’re working towards a Colorado where everyone has the opportunity for a healthy mouth and a healthy life. Join us in shaping a healthier, more equitable Colorado—one smile at a time.
This year, organizations may apply under one of two focus areas:
Prevention
Ensuring children ages 0-10 receive preventive oral health services that lead to completed care and ongoing connection to a dental home.
Access
Expanding Colorado's oral health workforce by helping individuals move forward along oral health career pathways through training, completion, and employment.
Eligible organizations may apply for up to $75,000 per year in funding. Applications are due by Sept. 8, 2026, and all applicants must speak with a senior program officer before submitting a proposal.
