Abstract
The MDA Foundation has increased its grant awards by 13.5% this year, providing $117,500 to 12 organizations focused on improving access to dental care. Notable recipients include the Gary Burnstein Clinic, awarded a second Diversity and Inclusion grant, and three new organizations: the Shelter Association of Washtenaw, Trinity Community Care, and the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum. Several returning grantees, including Malta Clinic and VINA Clinic, saw increased funding to continue offering free or reduced-cost dental services. Despite slight reductions for a few organizations, the overall grant program expanded, with the Foundation’s total awards increasing by 7.3%. The Foundation continues to rely on member donations to support these efforts, ensuring more Michigan residents gain access to essential dental care.
