Your Support Makes a Difference
By giving to our initiatives, you’re investing in our mission of serving rural and underserved populations across North Carolina while educating the next generation of dental care leaders. Your generosity allows us to attract expert faculty, provide patients access to oral health care and support our students to become leaders within the profession.
Patient Care Fund

You can even designate an area or cause that you want to help – whether it is a particular region or a passion to help those affected by cancer. By investing in these funds, you enable more patients to access basic dental care while advancing our students’ knowledge and practices that benefit communities. Together, we can expand the school’s reach and impact, improving oral health for those who need it most.
