The Grant Approval Process

Our Foundation Board of Trustees meets three times a year.
At the September meeting our Board reviews the preliminary (Round One) grant applications for the upcoming year. Those applicants that are selected for further consideration are notified they will be moving to the next round (Round Two). Those applicants will be required to complete a more extensive grant application. Those applicants not selected will be so notified.
At the December meeting our Board reviews and awards the underserved and research grants. All are notified of the outcome.
At the May meeting our Board reviews and awards the educational grants. All are notified of the outcome.
Applications received after the submission deadlines will not be reviewed by the Foundation Board.

While many grant applicants are return grantees, the Delta Dental of New Jersey Foundation encourages organizations and/or schools that have never applied for funding (and meet the Requirements of Grantees), to apply. The Delta Dental of New Jersey Foundation is always looking to expand its outreach.

Testimonial:

"Eva's Village is so very grateful for the generous support of the Delta Dental Foundation. The poor, homeless, and addicted who come to Eva's Village have been given a precious opportunity to experience quality dental care. Their anxiety and fear are erased as they learn and begin to practice proper dental hygiene and follow the path to lifelong dental health. We are blessed with a group of dedicated volunteer dentists who give their free time to serve the poor. The efforts of the work of our Dental Clinic Director, Dr. Brian Ullmann, in the prosthodontic lab are immeasurable. Patients radiate self-esteem and confidence gained through a beautiful new smile whether in interacting with friends or participating in a successful job interview. We could never begin to express all our thanks and appreciation for this very special program." - Sister Gloria Perez, Executive Director, Eva's Kitchen and Sheltering Programs, Inc.
