In support of Giving Tuesday, Facebook is partnering with PayPal to match donations made on Facebook to nonprofits up to a total of $7 million. Please consider making a donation to the FDA Foundation for Giving Tuesday!

The FDA Foundation is the philanthropic arm of the Florida Dental Association promoting dental health for all Floridians. As Florida’s premier charitable organization for dentistry, the FDA Foundation is dedicated to working with our members to improve the oral health of all Floridians.

There is a critical need in our state to improve oral health. Every day thousands of Floridians are experiencing severe dental pain and infection that affects their health, self-esteem and quality of life — from their ability to find employment to their ability to speak or chew properly.

The FDA Foundation serves as a catalyst for uniting volunteers and organizations to make a difference through better oral health. Programs supported by the FDA Foundation — the Florida Mission of Mercy, Project: Dentists Care and Donated Dental Services — provide life-changing dental care to those who are in most need.

You can help the Florida Dental Association (FDA) Foundation raise much-needed funding by using AmazonSmile for your online purchases. AmazonSmile is the same Amazon you know — same products, same prices, same service. So, what’s the difference? The shopping experience is identical to Amazon.com — the only difference is the added benefit to support a charitable organization from almost one million eligible organizations. AmazonSmile will donate 0.5 percent of the price of eligible purchases to a charitable organization selected by customers.

That’s where you come in! When you first visit AmazonSmile, and are prompted to select a charitable organization, please select the FDA Foundation. When you shop at AmazonSmile, 0.5 percent of the purchase price will be donated to the FDA Foundation! There are no additional fees, and AmazonSmile offers the same great options and pricing as on traditional Amazon — plus you will help provide funds to the FDA Foundation!
