AAID Foundation Donation
Foundation Donations
The AAID Foundation was founded in 1982 with a mission to further the science of oral implantology through research and education, and to support the delivery of implant care through charitable efforts. The AAID Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity that awards grants each year to dental students and those in post-graduate and residency programs.
In 2019, the Foundation launched the Smile, Veteran!TM Program to help those who have served our country with the opportunity to access and receive a dental implant services. The Foundation is supported by generous donations from AAID members and corporate sponsors.
In 2023, the Foundation established the Robert J. Buhite Scholarship for students in implantology/implant dentistry programs. The fund was started with a generous donation by the Buhite-Dimino Foundation. Every gift towards this scholarship helps implantology students to reach their goals.

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.
