Established in 2008 by Family & Nursing Care’s founder Sandy Kursban, the Family & Nursing Care Foundation is a fund of the Greater Washington Community Foundation that supports older adults in two very important ways: (1) Awarding grants to community partners to help lower-income older adults gain access to home care. (2) Providing scholarships for students to pursue a career as a Caregiver.
