The ADA Foundation Charitable Assistance Fund Grant Program is a financial assistance program from the American Dental Association (ADA) Foundation that funds dentists and their dependents facing hardship due to accidental injuries, advanced age, debilitating illness, or other medical conditions. The program provides grants to help cover daily living expenses and emergency needs when a dentist is unable to work. Spouses of deceased dentists are also eligible to apply. To qualify for some awards, applicants must be active tripartite members or members-at-large for more than 10 years. Children under 18 of eligible dentists may also qualify as dependents. The program provides a safety net for dental professionals during difficult periods of their lives.
