About Visiting Nurse Service of New York
A defining feature of Visiting Nurse Service of New York’s recent grantmaking is the scale of support flowing into its own care delivery arms: $4,730,842 to VNS Health Home Care II in 2024 and $2,523,434 in 2025, alongside $1,898,450 to Visiting Nurse Service of NY Hospice in 2023 and $1,344,466 to VNS Health Hospice Care in 2025. Those awards show a funder centered on home-based health care, hospice and palliative care, behavioral health, and related services that support independence for individuals and families across New York. The pattern is not limited to the largest awards. Smaller program-support grants also reach community partners in New York City neighborhoods, including Bronx and Brooklyn organizations, suggesting a local network of care and referral relationships. The foundation’s giving sits within health services rather than broad charitable philanthropy, and its recurring program support aligns with the stated emphasis on home health care, telehealth and remote monitoring, care coordination, and community health services. Recent grants to personal care operations, hospital partners, and community organizations indicate a mix of direct service support and system-facing health partnerships.
