Apply for the World Dental Development Fund

Dear FDI member,

FDI is now accepting applications for the 2025 World Dental Development Fund (WDDF). The FDI WDDF aims to support projects that advance oral health globally, primarily through the establishment of innovative oral health prevention and care programs, particularly for disadvantaged populations with involvement of communities.

WDDF supported projects should complement national strategic oral health priorities, have a prominent educational component and public health orientation as well as a promising potential for their sustainability.

Each year, FDI supports three to five projects. Each project can receive a maximum of CHF 10,000. 

FDI strongly encourages Regular and Associate members to develop relevant projects and to apply for support through the WDDF. Funding is also available to non-members of FDI. To be eligible for funding, non-members must obtain written support from an FDI Regular or Associate member in their country. 

Find out more about project eligibility and apply for the 2025 WDDF here.

Application deadline: 15 June 2025

If you have any questions, please contact us at projects@fdiworlddental.org.

We wish you the best of luck with your application!
