Community Outreach is at the heart of our foundation’s mission, with a strong emphasis on oral health education and disease prevention in systematically under-resourced communities.

Programs supported by the NDAF-Colgate-Palmolive Partnership deliver vital education to children and adults about positive oral health behaviors and outcomes and the importance of access to oral health services. These initiatives aim to not only improve oral health outcomes but also enhance overall health and well-being, empowering individuals and communities with the knowledge and tools to thrive.
