What is the LDA Foundation?

The LDA Foundation is the charitable arm of the Louisiana Dental Association. Currently, it is comprised of the former LDA charities including the Relief Fund, CE Hebert Fund and Assistance Fund.

What is the mission of the LDA Foundation?

The mission of the Foundation is to enhance the oral health of our State by providing funding for clinical research, education,scholarships and access to care programs, as well as providing financial assistance to dental professionals and their families who are in need.

Is my contribution to the LDAF tax deductible?

The LDA Foundation is a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt corporation registered in the State of Louisiana. All contributions are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

Why does the LDAF need my contribution?

In the past three years, and four hurricanes, the Foundation has granted over $400,000 in emergency aid to dentists in our State who were devastated by these storms. Unfortunately, as you might guess, this has resulted in diminished funds for future grants. The Foundation would ask every dentist in Louisiana to make a contribution.

The LDA Foundation is committed to helping support all aspects of our mission statement for the future. We will endeavor to develop new avenues for members to participate in charitable giving, including endowments.
