About Delta Dental of Pennsylvania
Delta Dental of Pennsylvania’s largest recent grants have gone to the Delta Dental Community Care Foundation, with awards of $3,850,000 in 2023, $2,286,978 in 2024, and $2,230,035 in 2025, all described as support to provide dental education. That pattern places oral health education at the center of the foundation’s giving, alongside access to care and community-based oral health programs. The foundation also backs a smaller set of recurring nonprofit partners with education-related grants, including Bethesda Mission Women’s Shelter in Harrisburg and Special Olympics Pennsylvania in Enola. Across its grantmaking, the foundation supports nonprofit organizations, community clinics, and entities connected to oral health education and prevention. The grants table shows repeated support over multiple years for some recipients, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards in at least part of its portfolio. Its active program descriptions reinforce that emphasis: access to oral health care, oral health education, research and scholarships, and senior oral health. The overall picture is a funder using grants to support dental education, expand preventive services, and strengthen community-based oral health work.
