In addition to engaging with the community through volunteer efforts, Delta Dental supports initiatives through various sponsorships and partnerships. These initiatives focus on oral health, overall health and wellbeing, working with underserved populations, specifically children, developmentally disabled persons, veterans, and seniors.

Delta Dental also works closely with local Chambers of Commerce and several New Jersey and Connecticut sports teams.

Recognizing the unique value each partnership and/or organization brings to the table, unfortunately, we are unable to support all requests. If you have any questions on our volunteer engagement program, community relations efforts or sponsorships, please contact: Joan Henderson at jhenderson@deltadentalnj.com.
