Overview

Mission

The mission of CDHA is to advance the art and science of dental hygiene by increasing awareness of the cost effective benefits of prevention and ensuring access to quality oral health care: promoting the highest standards of dental hygiene education, liscensure, practice.

CDHA provides advocacy for greater public access to care for public oral health education, holds annual meetings and biannual scientific sessions, provides continuing education seminars for dental hygiene, and prints journals, manuals and brochures for various educational purposes.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
