Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation (DDCOF) announced nearly $11 million in grants to more than 40 organizations working to ensure all Coloradans have access to oral health care. The foundation awarded funds to organizations working within its three initiatives to address the root causes of oral health care inequity: prevention and preventive care, access to oral health care, and workforce development.
Four of the grants, totaling nearly $5 million over four years, will be dedicated to expanding and diversifying dental hygiene programs across the state working in partnership with Colorado’s higher education system.
An additional $6 million is directed to 39 community organizations across the state to advance access to quality care and preventive services.
