Our Foundation

Delta Dental Foundation Logo

Since 1986, our philanthropic arm, the Delta Dental of New Jersey Foundation, Inc., has worked to promote and assist educational projects devoted to the enhancement of dental health, as well as access to dental care programs designed to increase public awareness of the general benefits of good oral health and to improve dental health through the science of dentistry. Each year, the Foundation provides financial support to various organizations throughout New Jersey and Connecticut to reach underserved populations, specifically children, developmentally disabled persons, seniors, and veterans.  
 
The Mission of the Delta Dental of New Jersey Foundation is: To improve the oral health of New Jersey and Connecticut residents by providing charitable contributions to solve oral health care challenges. 
 

Our Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit, charitable organization, and we are humbled to be able to support a variety of programs that aid those in need, educate the community, and assist worthwhile oral health related organizations. To date, our Foundation has awarded more than $24 million toward dental care for the underinsured and uninsured and dental education programs. The Foundation funds projects only in New Jersey and Connecticut.
