Why Give?

 

A strong foundation begins with you. The North Carolina Dental Society Foundation is the affiliated ‍501(3)(c) charity of the Society, dedicated to MOM clinics, children’s initiatives, grants to local clinics and so much more! Across the state, dental professionals are committing themselves to better oral health for North Carolinians via the Foundation – through donations, volunteering time and providing services to those in need – over 75,000 patients at this point!

In addition to traditional methods of giving, the Foundation offers other vehicles such as a gifts of stock and planned gifts, including bequests, life insurance policies and charitable trusts, which can offer donors tax savings while making a significant contribution to the Foundation. There are many ways to get involved in the work of the Foundation and its charitable programs.
