The HDS Foundation’s objective is to improve oral health in the communities where HDS operates (Hawaii, Guam and Saipan). Grants will be limited to projects related to the advancement of oral health. HDS will consider programs and projects that promote oral health education, prevention of oral disease and access to dental care by underserved populations.
Hawaii Dental Service Foundation’s recent giving is anchored by a large scholarship commitment: $800,000 in 2025 to the University of Hawaii Foundation to expand the HDS Endowed Scholarship Program for dental hygiene students. That grant fits a broader pattern of funding oral-health workforce development, clinic capacity, and preventive care across Hawaii. The foundation also backed Waimanalo Health Center in consecutive years with $500,000 grants for new dental expansion clinics, while supporting the University of Hawaii Foundation’s Area Health Education Center loan programs for dentists and dental hygienists. Its grantmaking reaches both education pipelines and service delivery. Recent awards include support for dental assisting equipment at Kapiolani Community College, dental sealant programming through Hawaii Keiki, and clinic improvements for organizations serving uninsured, underinsured, and Medicaid patients. Other grants funded specialty services, oral health technology, and strategic planning for a statewide oral health coalition. The portfolio shows a consistent emphasis on projects tied to oral health education, prevention of disease, and access to care in Hawaii and nearby Pacific communities served by HDS operations.
Workforce development is a recurring theme. In 2025, Hawaii Dental Service Foundation gave $800,000 to the University of Hawaii Foundation to expand the HDS Endowed Scholarship Program for dental hygiene students, and $154,272 to the University of Hawaii Foundation - Kapiolani Community College to strengthen the dental assisting program with new equipment and tools. The foundation also funds access-to-care infrastructure. It awarded $500,000 in both 2023 and 2024 to Waimanalo Health Center for new dental expansion clinics, and $190,000 in 2025 to Hui No Ke Ola Pono Inc. to renovate and expand its dental clinic. Preventive care appears through the $245,894 grant to University of Hawaii Foundation - Hawaii Keiki for the HDS Dental Sealant Program. Community oral-health outreach is another clear line of support. Friends of the Future received $30,000 for a two-way preventive text-messaging platform to help families find a baby’s first dentist, linking outreach to early dental care.
