Henry Schein Cares Foundation concentrates its philanthropic support on oral health and the dental profession, channeling funds to professional/dental service organizations that expand access to dental care and strengthen the dental workforce. Its grants demonstrate a focused, mission-aligned approach rather than broad-based giving, with all reported funding directed to a single national dental association.
Henry Schein Cares Foundation Inc. centers its giving on oral health and the dental profession, with recent grants showing steady support for national dental organizations and health-access intermediaries. The largest reported awards went to the National Dental Association, including $192,000 in 2025 and $132,000 in 2024 for general support, alongside a $85,000 grant in each of 2025 and 2024 to the National Association of Community Health Centers. That pattern points to a funder that backs institutions working at the system level rather than a broad mix of unrelated charities. The foundation also supports dental education and professional infrastructure. Recent grants include $60,000 to City University of NY Public Health- Sph for general support, $50,000 to Harvard School of Dental Medicine for general support, and $50,000 to the National Association of Free and Charitable Clinics. Other awards extend to organizations tied to dental office management, community dentistry, and health access. Taken together, the grant record shows a narrow philanthropic profile focused on access to care, the dental workforce, and organizations that serve the field nationally.
Within oral health access, Henry Schein Cares Foundation Inc. awarded $85,000 to the National Association of Community Health Centers in both 2024 and 2025, including support labeled Healthy Lifestyles Healthy Community in 2023. It also gave $75,000 to Local Start Dental Inc. for general support in 2023, pointing to community-based dental service delivery. The foundation also funds dental workforce and professional capacity. It gave $24,500 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025 to the American Association of Dental Office Managers, supporting the administrative side of dental care. For dental education, it provided $60,000 to City University of NY Public Health- Sph and $50,000 to Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Its health-related partnerships extend beyond dentistry when tied to campaigns or community programs. Examples include $65,000 and $60,000 to Northwell Health Foundation for TP-Think Pink, plus $25,000 to Special Olympics Inc for the same campaign in 2025.
Typical grants are modest to mid-sized, with a p25 of $5,000, a median of $8,380, and a p75 of $15,000. The recent record also includes larger, repeat awards at the institutional level, which suggests a dual pattern of smaller program grants and larger general-support commitments. Recipients appear across multiple years, including annual support to several organizations and repeated awards to the same dental and health-access institutions. The foundation operates as a corporate citizenship and charitable grantmaking program, and it also makes in-kind donations. It accepts unsolicited requests through its charitable contributions and in-kind donation program.
