01What it does

What Delta Dental Plans Association does

Mission

The purpose of the association is to increase the availability of dental services to the public by encouraging the expansion of dental prepayment programs administered through non-profit dental service corporations, and by providing the means for active, associate, or affiliate members to cooperate in multistate and national group coverage.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Education and promotional materials and advertising campaigns to increase public awareness of oral health issues and to increase access to dental services through the use of dental prepayment programs. These campaigns and materials educate the public on the importance of good oral health and its connection to overall health and well-being, and encourage the use of dental prepayment programs as a means of increasing access to and regular receipt of dental services with a focus on preventative dental care.

  2. Conferences to promote awareness of oral health and service issues and education on new developments affecting oral health and the dental service industry, with the goals of providing up to date information on industry-relevant topics, promoting higher industry standards and better service methods, and advancing oral health and public awareness of its connection to overall health.

  3. Public policy initiatives designed to create awareness of issues affecting oral health and the dental service industry and to influence legislation germane to oral health, dental services, and the prepaid dental service plan industry. This program service activity helps accomplish the organization's long-term goal of promoting good oral health, including promoting the benefits of dental prepayment programs as a means of increasing access to and regular receipt of dental services.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

How it's funded, over time

Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

DELTA DENTAL PLANS ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 90%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund DELTA DENTAL PLANS ASSOCIATION.
