About the Foundation

The foundation's goal is to develop initiatives that will build on its mission statement: 

The mission of The NADP Foundation is to promote research and education to improve the oral health of the population through access to and the administration of oral health services. 

The NADP Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organized in 1997.  In 2023, the Foundation registered as a public charity in the state of Massachusetts. The NADP Foundation promotes the oral health of Americans through increased access to dental services. 

The National Association of Dental Plans revitalized its independent Foundation to focus on research and education initiatives. 

The NADP Foundation was originally formed in 1997 but was inactive for several years before being revitalized in 2023. 

The Foundation is funded by the contributions of NADP members and others who seek to improve the health of Americans by improving access to health care and the administration of oral health services.
