About Delta Dental of California
Delta Dental of California’s largest recent grants are enterprise contributions to Delta Dental Community Care Foundation, including $26,750,000 in 2023, $21,478,707 in 2024, and $17,238,530 in 2025. That pattern points to a funder that uses very large institutional transfers alongside a broad stream of smaller grants tied to specific events, employee programs, and community initiatives. The foundation’s grantmaking centers on oral health access, senior oral health, oral health education, oral health research, and community health, with the stated aim of building caring, resilient communities by increasing access to oral health care. Beyond the oral-health core, recent grants show support for military and veteran-serving organizations, food banks, health-related fundraising events, and community celebrations. Named recipients in recent years include American Online Giving Foundation Inc for employee seeding and matching gifts, American National Red Cross for a gala, and Disabled American Veterans for sponsorship support. The mix suggests a funder that combines programmatic priorities with sponsorship-style giving and employee-linked philanthropy, rather than a single-purpose grant portfolio.
