About Delta Dental of California
Delta Dental of California’s largest recent grants are enterprise contributions to Delta Dental Community Care Foundation, including $26,750,000 in 2023, $21,478,707 in 2024, and $17,238,530 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that uses very large institutional transfers alongside a broad stream of smaller grants tied to specific events, employee programs, and community initiatives. The foundation’s grantmaking centers on oral health access, senior oral health, oral health education, oral health research, and community health, with the stated aim of building caring, resilient communities by increasing access to oral health care. Beyond the oral-health core, recent grants show support for military and veteran-serving organizations, food banks, health-related fundraising events, and community celebrations. Named recipients in recent years include American Online Giving Foundation Inc for employee seeding and matching gifts, American National Red Cross for a gala, and Disabled American Veterans for sponsorship support. The mix suggests a funder that combines programmatic priorities with sponsorship-style giving and employee-linked philanthropy, rather than a single-purpose grant portfolio.

Health promotion also shows up in a $30,000 grant to the American Heart Association for the 2023 Sacramento Heart & Stroke Walk. Community and cultural support is visible in $100,000 to American National Red Cross for the 2025 Red Cross Gala and $25,000 to Motion Picture and Television Fund for the Heartbeat of Hollywood Golf Classic.
