At Family & Nursing Care, our mission is to help older adults age with dignity, comfort, and connection. That commitment extends to every aspect of our work and is at the heart of the Family & Nursing Care Foundation.
Since 2008, the Foundation has been a source of hope. It helps fund organizations that deliver essential home care for lower-income older adults, in addition to investing in the next generation of caregivers through scholarships for aspiring Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs).
Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the dedication of our community partners, the Family & Nursing Care Foundation — a fund of the Greater Washington Community Foundation — is awarding $60,000 in grants this year to local organizations committed to making home care accessible for those who need it most.
2025 grant recipients include:
Together, these grants will provide more than 7,000 hours of home care services, enabling low-income seniors to remain safely at home while receiving the compassionate support they deserve.
The Foundation also continues to invest in the future of home care through a $50,000 scholarship fund established in partnership with Montgomery College. Each year, $10,000 is awarded to students working toward their CNA license who have demonstrated both financial need and a passion for caregiving.
“As more older adults choose to age in place, the demand for quality home care — and the compassionate, skilled caregivers who provide it — continues to grow,” says Sandy Kursban, Founder of Family & Nursing Care and Chair of the Family & Nursing Care Foundation. “Our mission is twofold: to help low-income seniors access the care they need today and to support the education of the caregivers who will serve our community tomorrow. As we enter our 17th year, we’re deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue this important work and to see the lasting impact these grants will have.”
