At Family & Nursing Care, our mission is to help older adults age with dignity and comfort. This commitment extends to every aspect of our work, especially through the Family & Nursing Care Foundation. Since 2008, the Foundation has been a beacon of hope for lower-income adults, providing essential funding to organizations that offer home care services, while also investing in the future of caregiving by supporting aspiring Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs).
This year, thanks to the unwavering support of our donors and community, the Family & Nursing Care Foundation, which operates as a fund of the Greater Washington Community Foundation, is thrilled to announce it will be awarding $60,000 in grants to local organizations dedicated to making home care accessible to those in need. The recipients of the 2024 grant cycle include:
These grants will provide over 7,000 hours of comprehensive home care services, ensuring that more low-income seniors can safely remain in their homes with the care they need.
In addition to these grants, the Family & Nursing Care Foundation is proud to continue its commitment to nurturing the next generation of caregivers through our scholarship fund. Established in partnership with Montgomery College, this $50,000 fund supports students pursuing their CNA license. Each year, $10,000 is awarded to deserving candidates who require financial assistance, helping them achieve their dreams and contribute to the future of home care.
“With the aging population growing rapidly, the need for quality home care and skilled caregivers has never been more critical,” says Sandy Kursban, Founder of Family & Nursing Care and Chair of the Family & Nursing Care Foundation. “The Family & Nursing Care Foundation is committed to helping solve this challenge by empowering low-income seniors to access the care they need and by supporting the education of future CNAs who will play a crucial role in our community. We are incredibly proud to continue this vital work for our 16th year and look forward to seeing the positive impact of these grants for many years to come.”
