About Nurse-Family Partnership
Nurse-family Partnership channels its giving toward evidence-based home visiting, with recent grants repeatedly labeled "GROW THE NSO PROGRAM." The largest award in the file is $500,000 to Alahealth Inc in Birmingham, Alabama, followed by a $498,958 grant to Youth Development Inc in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Those awards show a clear pattern of backing organizations that are expanding a named service model rather than funding a wide mix of unrelated projects. The foundation’s own summary says it aims to improve the health and wellbeing of children and families nationwide through evidence-based home visiting programs, and the recent grants align with that mission through program-growth support. Several grants also point to the same kind of implementation work across different providers, including capacity-building for local agencies and health systems. Recent recipients span community organizations, hospital-linked entities, and public or nonprofit partners, suggesting that the funder works through established delivery systems to extend program reach. The portfolio reflects a national approach, with grants going to organizations in multiple states rather than concentrating on one local market.
What Nurse-Family Partnership Funds
Early childhood and maternal health sit at the center of this foundation’s grantmaking. In 2024, it awarded $463,000 to Gift of Life in Montgomery, Alabama, for "GROW THE NSO PROGRAM," a clear example of expansion funding tied to a named service model. The same purpose appears in a $424,233 grant to Children’s Trust of South Carolina in Columbia, supporting program growth through a statewide intermediary. The foundation also funds health-system and public-agency partners. Texas A&M Health Services Center in College Station, Texas, received $341,871 in 2023 and $293,700 in 2024 for the same program-growth purpose, showing sustained support over multiple years. In Arizona, Maricopa County in Phoenix received $238,363 in 2025, again for growing the NSO program. Family mental health and child development are reflected in the broader home-visiting model, where participant recruitment, retention, and implementation support are recurring needs.
How Nurse-Family Partnership Gives
Typical grant size sits at a median of $90,078, with the middle half of awards ranging from $36,460 at the 25th percentile to $196,924 at the 75th percentile. The recent grant list shows repeat awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including several recipients that appear in both 2023 and 2024 or 2025, which points to ongoing support rather than one-time funding only. The foundation is not described as an operating foundation or a donor-advised fund; it gives program-related grants and does not fund individuals. Its listed philosophy emphasizes program expansion, capacity building, operating support, and project-specific growth funding.
