The AGD Foundation Grant Program fulfills the Foundation’s mission by offering financial support for programs that promote oral and oropharyngeal cancer awareness, education, and/or screening that is independent of standard dental practice. The 2027 Grant Application cycle is open, and we strongly encourage AGD constituencies to apply. The deadline to submit your application is November 30, 2026. For more information, contact the AGD Foundation at admin@agdfoundation.org.

Since 2012, the AGD Foundation has awarded grants totaling over $220,000. We are proud of the support we have provided and look forward to supporting AGD constituents, regions and nonprofit organizations across the United States and Canada. View past grant recipients below.
