Welcome to the ADEAGies Foundation®

The ADEAGies Foundation is uniquely positioned to identify and promote innovative, future-ready oral health initiatives that advance dental education and elevate the dental professions. Across the dental, allied dental and advanced dental education community, our diverse ranks—comprised of dental school deans and program directors; faculty; students, residents and fellows; and corporate and philanthropic partners—allow us to tap a tremendous breadth of knowledge, ability and perspective to develop leaders who can grow their capacity to lead academic dentistry amidst change.

Positioned to serve as an incubator of innovation, the ADEAGies Foundation structures its philanthropic work around actionable foci—leadership training for active and emergent academic leaders and teaching and learning that produces future-ready dental school graduates—centered on advancing dental education.
