Supports oral health and access to dental care in Virginia through grants, scholarships, loan repayment, and community programs.
Delta Dental of Virginia’s recent giving is anchored by two large internal support grants of $2,010,694 in 2024 and $1,991,491 in 2025 to Delta Dental of Virginia Foundation in Roanoke. Those awards sit alongside a grantmaking program built around oral health, access to dental care, scholarships, loan repayment, and community oral-health initiatives across Virginia. The pattern shows a funder that combines large mission-support grants with smaller local sponsorships and program awards tied to clinics, education, and public events. Among the named recipients, Boys & Girls Clubs of Sw Virginia received $55,000 for the ProAm Kids Golf Tournament and $30,000 for a Delta Dental presenting sponsorship. Bradley Free Clinic in Roanoke received $10,000 for its 50th anniversary, while The Rescue Mission in Roanoke received $10,000 for Drumstick Dash sponsorship. Virginia Health Catalyst in Glen Allen also received $15,000 for an annual summit sponsorship. The mix points to a foundation that funds both oral-health work and community-facing partnerships within Virginia.
A core area of giving is oral-health access through clinics and community programs. The foundation gave $10,000 to Bradley Free Clinic for its 50th anniversary and supports competitive grants for oral health programs, school-based care, preventive services, and community clinics across Virginia. It also supports community engagement through sponsorships. Boys & Girls Clubs of Sw Virginia received $55,000 for the ProAm Kids Golf Tournament, and The Rescue Mission received $10,000 for Drumstick Dash sponsorship. Workforce development is another clear theme. Delta Dental of Virginia runs scholarship and loan-repayment programs for dental and dental hygiene students and professionals, including support intended to keep graduates practicing in underserved areas of the commonwealth. Virginia Health Catalyst’s $15,000 annual summit sponsorship adds a public-health and convening angle to the portfolio.
Typical grant size sits at $10,000 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $55,000 at the 75th percentile. The pattern is local and Virginia-only: 100% of grants in the provided data went to recipients in Virginia. The recent record also shows repetition in sponsorship-style giving, with Boys & Girls Clubs of Sw Virginia appearing twice across 2024 and 2025. Structurally, the foundation combines competitive grants with endowed scholarships, loan repayment, and oral-health supply distribution; some programs accept unsolicited requests, while the scholarship and loan-repayment programs are administered rather than open-ended.
