As we reflect on the past year, we respectfully acknowledge the Illinois State Dental Society members who have passed away between August 2025 and August 2026.
The Illinois State Dental Society Foundation is proud to announce its continued support for dental education in Illinois through the Dr. Keith and Peggy Dickey Dental Education Endowment Fund program. This year, the Foundation is funding three major projects at the state's dental schools, each aimed at improving student training, expanding access to care, and strengthening the dental workforce. $9,000 will be awarded to each school at this year's ISDS Annual Session.
The ISDS Foundation’s 2026 grants reflect a commitment to serving Illinois’ most vulnerable populations—children, seniors, refugees, people with disabilities, and the uninsured. By supporting these innovative programs and essential services, the Foundation helps ensure brighter, healthier smiles across the state.
