About the CDS Foundation
What we do
Guided by a belief that all families should have access to quality oral healthcare, the CDS Foundation serves as the philanthropic arm of the Chicago Dental Society. Since it was founded in 2008, the CDS Foundation has supported access to care for the underserved in our communities. CDS members donate funds and time to the Foundation, and those resources are used to improve the public’s access to dental care programs and oral health education. Specifically, we:
- Provide dental health care to low income residents at the CDS Foundation Clinic
- Provide grants to local non-profit organizations that
provide access to care, and to the leading dentistry schools at universities in Illinois
- Provide opportunities for industries to support oral health
- Accept donations that honor or memorialize a loved one. These types of gifts are enduring tributes that help further the mission of providing access to care
