Ways to Give

Your Gift Transforms Lives

Every donation to the AAID Foundation fuels progress in implant dentistry and brings life-changing care to those who need it most.

As a 501(c)(3) public charity, we fund research, support students in implantology programs, and provide essential dental implant services to U.S. veterans through our Smile, Veteran! program.

In 2023, we launched the Robert J. Buhite Scholarship to help future implantologists achieve their goals—thanks to generous donors like you.

Your support empowers innovation, education, and healing.
Together, we’re building healthier futures—one smile at a time.

Bequest and Retirement Plan Donations

Gifts made through a donor’s will or trust are encouraged by the AAIDF. Attempts are made, whenever possible, to identify bequest expectancies in order to allow the AAIDF to recognize the donor for the gift during their lifetime.

The AAIDF will accept funds it receives as the beneficiary of a retirement plan (IRA, 401(k) or 403(b). The AAIDF will encourage gifts that qualify as IRA Rollover Distributions when this giving vehicle is made possible by current legislation.

Volunteer

Just as valuable as your monetary contributions are your donations of time and energy.

The AAIDF is always looking for AAID-credentialed dentists to volunteer their services for the Smile, Veteran!™ program.

If you are willing to provide the invaluable service of working with one of the veterans in the program, please email foundation@aaid.com.
