NURSES HOUSE INC focuses on direct financial relief for nurses and healthcare workers, providing funds to cover rent, mortgage, utilities, groceries, and medical expenses. Its grants appear targeted at individual or small-group emergency assistance rather than institutional program funding, suggesting an emphasis on immediate household stability for frontline caregivers.
Concentrated, small-number funding: a few large grants directed toward direct assistance (one multi-recipient grant and one targeted nurse relief grant). Grants are cash-based and focused on immediate needs rather than long-term program support.
Nurses House Inc. directs its grantmaking toward short-term personal relief for registered nurses who are unable to work because of a medical crisis. The largest recent award in the file was $328,214 to 92 grantees for rent, mortgage payments, utilities, or medical expenses, showing that the organization funds urgent household costs rather than institutional programs. A second large grant of $196,245 went to 301 nurses for rent, mortgage, utilities, groceries, or medical expenses, pointing to direct support for basic needs when income is interrupted. The pattern in the recent grants list is consistent with emergency assistance for frontline caregivers, especially when housing payments, utility bills, food costs, or medical bills need immediate coverage. The foundation’s program language identifies registered nurses as the intended recipients, and the grants appear structured around short-term stability during periods of illness or work disruption. Its giving is concentrated in the United States, with the recent record showing grants to recipients in New York.
Nurses House Inc. centers emergency financial assistance for nurses whose medical crisis keeps them from working. One recent grant of $153,656 supported 92 grantees for rent, mortgage payments, utilities, or medical expenses, which places housing and healthcare bills at the core of its aid. Another grant of $196,245 went to 301 nurses for rent, mortgage, utilities, groceries, or medical expenses, extending that support to food security as well. The program guidelines also specify short-term personal grants for registered nurses who are unable to work due to a medical crisis. That makes the foundation’s work distinct: it is built around direct relief for individuals, not longer-term institutional programming.
Recent grants show a tight band around the same scale: p25 is $174,950, the median is $196,245, and p75 is $262,230. The current record includes repeated grants to the same recipient types across 2023 and 2024, including 92 grantees in one year and 301 nurses in another, which suggests recurring emergency support rather than one-off project funding. Nurses House Inc. makes grants to individuals and does not make program-related investments. The active program accepts unsolicited applications and is designed for registered nurses facing a medical crisis.
