ISDS Foundation awards $15,000 to help Illinois Dental Schools


The ISDS Foundation’s Dental Education Endowment Fund: “Our Legacy, Our Future” program earmarked $5,000 from its endowment’s earnings for each dental school in Illinois in 2022. The ISDS Foundation Board requested a “wish list” from each dental school administration and asked them to identify where these requested funds would be most needed for each educational program to succeed and most visible to those donating to the endowment.

Send a note, while helping the Foundation!
Looking for a way to honor someone's accomplishment? Send a memorial to a friend, relative, or colleague?

These "all occasion" cards have many uses, and you can purchase a package of 10 for a $50 contribution to the ISDS Foundation. When you send one of these cards and write your note inside, you honor a person in a very special way and also support the worthy programs of the ISDS Foundation.
