DISASTER RELIEF GRANT PROGRAM:
APPLICATION FOR 2025 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES
INDIVIDUAL CALIFORNIA DENTISTS, DENTAL STAFF AND DENTAL SOCIETY STAFF APPLICATION
Thank you for expressing interest in the CDA Foundation and its disaster relief grant program. We are sorry for any loss you may have sustained as a result of the 2025 California wildfires.
Application Deadline: CDA Foundation will accept applications until 90 days after the start date of the disaster (per CalFire Incident Information webpage) or when funds are exhausted, whichever date is earlier.
The CDA Foundation Emergency Disaster Relief Program is a one-time, single-installment grant that provides financial assistance of up to $2,500 per California dentist, dental staff member or dental society staff member for immediate and emergency needs (food, shelter, clothing, etc.) as a direct result of the 2025 Southern California wildfires. These grants are provided through the CDA Foundation Disaster Relief Fund. The Disaster Relief Fund furthers the exempt purpose of the CDA Foundation by making grants available to eligible recipients to restore emergency dental care in areas affected by disasters and to provide a small measure of emergency financial assistance to members of the dental profession who are victims of disasters.
Applicants are deemed appropriate for relief at the discretion of the CDA Foundation Board of Directors. All applications for relief are to be submitted to the CDA Foundation directly.
