With federal infrastructure for oral health facing significant cuts, we stand at a pivotal moment. What may appear as a setback is also an unprecedented opportunity for philanthropy to lead. To capture this moment, the National Network for Oral Health Access (NNOHA), the Association of State and Territorial Dental Directors (ASTDD), and the American Association of Public Health Dentistry (AAPHD) have issued a Call to Action (attached) that outlines how philanthropic leadership can strengthen prevention, workforce, research, and systems-building in ways that will shape the future of oral and overall health.

Your voice and platform are essential in ensuring this message reaches far and wide. We humbly ask for your support in amplifying the Call to Action by:

• Sharing the Call to Action across your networks and communications channels.

• Highlighting the opportunities it presents for philanthropy to fill critical gaps and accelerate innovation.

• Engaging your partners in conversations about how collective action can sustain and expand oral health progress.

By raising awareness together, we can ensure that funders, policymakers, and health leaders recognize both the urgency and opportunity of this moment. Amplification will help mobilize resources and secure the partnerships needed to protect decades of progress—and build the next generation of solutions for prevention and care.
