Making a Difference
Through the generosity of countless volunteers and donors, the CDA Foundation has helped so many Californians in need through its flagship program CDA Cares. In addition, the CDA Foundation has provided Dental Materials and Supplies Grants to community-based organizations to help provide access to care for California’s most vulnerable citizens.
