Why Give?

The University of Washington School of Dentistry is dedicated to excellence in education, research and community care. As the leading provider of dental care in the Pacific Northwest, we educate three quarters of all dentists practicing in Washington.

Our primary mission is to educate a progressive oral health workforce, develop community collaborations, and bring advances in science to address the pressing needs of our state, the nation and the world. We do this by preparing our students to be competent oral health care professionals.

But accomplishing this mission requires your participation. By directing your gift to an area or department that is most meaningful, you contribute to the advancement of our work and reputation in any number of areas:

• Faculty Support will provide critically needed funding to attract, retain and support the School´s outstanding faculty;
• Building Renovation will enable us to update an aging facility and bring clinics, labs and classrooms into the 21st century;
• Program Support will help us remain competitive and develop new programs and initiatives to enhance our educational, research and outreach efforts; and,
• Scholarships will support the next generation of talented dental professionals.

Thanks to the generosity of many alumni and others, the School has already made great strides. Join us as we build on a foundation of excellence to create an even brighter future in oral health for our faculty, students and the communities we serve.
