Making a Difference
To care for those in need is at the heart of the CDA Foundation. Through the generosity of countless volunteers and donors, we’re creating lasting change for California’s most vulnerable citizens. The Foundation is making an impact on health equity in our state through comprehensive and ongoing direct patient care, education, mental health and wellness, dental practice staffing pathways, and results-driven grants and awards.

Over 30,000 Smiles
