Wrigley service grants

The ADHA Institute for Oral Health has once again partnered with the Wrigley Company Foundation to offer the members of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association the opportunity to apply for community service grants to coincide with National Dental Hygiene Month.

Funding through this grant program will provide member hygienists’ the necessary monies to either start or continue an existing community service program within their respective communities.

The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company will be giving up to $60,000 in community service grants, in the amount of $2,500 and $5,000 per grantee, to applicants who are involved in a specific community health project. Applicants will need to demonstrate that the project is in harmony with the American Dental Hygienists’ Association Institute for Oral Health mission and vision.

The community service project should demonstrate its capacity to improve the public’s oral health and provide oral health education to underserved populations throughout the United States.

The application deadline for the 2011 grant cycle is Nov. 1, 2011. The application must be postmarked or received by the institute by that date for consideration.
