Does Delta Dental of Kansas have a grant cycle?

Delta Dental of Kansas announced funding focus changes for 2019. 

The Delta Dental of Kansas Charitable Giving Committee of the Board and our staff have been holistically reviewing our charitable giving program. 

Delta Dental of Kansas will not be holding an open grant cycle for 2019. Our process for the donation of Smile Kits (toothbrush kits) will remain as it currently stands, however please bear in mind we will not be awarding Oral Health Grants in 2019.

We have chosen to focus our areas of impact on funding direct care/access, education/prevention and workforce training. Our Board and staff have identified organizations we will be partnering with in 2019.
