DentaQuest Foundation

We are a Diverse and Inclusive Workplace
Our mission, to support and promote optimal oral health, mandates that diversity be integrated into all DentaQuest Foundation activity.

We strive to embrace diversity in our everyday culture. We value the inclusion of all individuals and honor the differences in background and perspective that each person brings to the Foundation.

We recognize the value of diversity on our ability to understand the concerns and needs of our grantees and their communities.

Success = Awareness
Much like our commitment to oral health, the DentaQuest Foundation has a commitment to:

Attract, develop and retain a skilled and high performing diverse employee population.

Create and maintain processes that promote integrated and diverse employee relations.

Promote an inclusive culture that encourages personal development and growth.

Create and maintain effective relationships with the many and diverse communities that we serve.

Success = Outreach
Through an integrated, strategic and long-term approach, the Foundation has made commitments to diversity that focus not only on our workforce but also on the communities we work with every day. The Foundation has established ongoing partnerships and recruiting relationships with local and national organizations that aid our ability to maintain and recruit a diverse workforce. Representatives of the Foundation are expected to be a positive force in the communities in which we work and serve.

Success = Continuous Learning
Success will inevitably result as we continue to utilize our wide range of internal experiences and perspectives. Our Foundation staff receives training in Anti-Discrimination Awareness, Diversity Awareness and Managing Diversity; each individual is expected to incorporate this awareness into all Foundation activities.

Success = Diversity Recognition
Our core values define us; our decisions make them real. The DentaQuest Foundation is committed to an environment that values and respects each individual. We encourage, recognize and reward teamwork and accountability. We celebrate and take pride in the significant contributions that come from individuals, cultures, and ideas. The Foundation’s commitment to workforce diversity is part of a dynamic and inclusive process for building our organization’s excellence and making sure the work we do is relevant to the communities that we serve.
