Give a Little, Change a Lot!

For the past 23 years, the ADA Foundation’s
 
Give Kids A Smile (GKAS) program has provided free oral health care services to over 9.5 million underserved children, hosted in various community and clinical settings, through the generous efforts of dental team and student volunteers. GKAS greatly relies on your support to continue its mission.

How Donations Help: By contributing to GKAS through this initiative, you’re not just helping us reach more children in need, you’re also investing in the future of oral health care.

Bonus: 25% of every gift can be donated to an identified accredited dental school of your choice. By supporting this cause, funds raised will support the dental school's GKAS event and/or similar children's oral health outreach initiatives.

Your generosity both addresses the oral health needs of underserved children, and enriches the philanthropic initiatives of dental schools nationwide.
