About Delta Dental Plan of Colorado Foundation
Delta Dental Plan of Colorado Foundation Inc funds oral health work through schools, community health organizations, and workforce pipelines. In the recent grants list, the largest awards go to Colorado education institutions, including two $625,000 grants to Pikes Peak State College Foundation in Colorado Springs and a $500,000 grant to Front Range Community College Found in Westminster. The pattern points to a funder that connects oral health equity to training, access, and community-based delivery rather than to a single service model. The foundation’s support also reaches health access organizations and care settings. Colorado grants include $260,000 to Family Resource Center Association in Denver for access to care, $100,000 to Kids in Need of Dentistry in Denver for access to care, and $95,481 to Tepeyac Community Health Centers in Denver for access to care. Other grants support prevention and community health work, such as $200,000 to Rocky Mountain Public Media in Denver and $112,785 to Denver Preschool Program. Across the recent list, the foundation appears to back organizations that can influence oral health equity at multiple points, from prevention and early education to clinical care and workforce development.
