Welcome to AGD Wednesday, May 14, 2008

Donations to the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) Foundation fund dental access programs that help make dental care and oral health literacy available to underserved populations, and educational programs that enhance the general dentist’s ability to serve the aged, the physically and mentally challenged, and children, particularly those whose economic circumstances place them at risk. These initiatives support one of the fundamental core values of the AGD: that better oral health will lead to increased overall health and improved quality of life.

More than $168,600 has been awarded by the AGD Foundation between 2001 and 2006.

The AGD Foundation was incorporated in 1972, in the state of Illinois, and is exempt under section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, as a vehicle to accept tax deductible contributions for the purpose of supporting charitable and education programs.
