Dear Friends & Supporters of The School Nurses of California Foundation,
|
|
Despite this year's challenges surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, The School Nurses of California Foundation (SNOCF) remains committed to providing support to California’s School Nurses who are working to improve health and wellness of children in our schools and communities all around the state.
Due to generosity such as yours, for the past 6 years, SNOCF has been able to provide financial support to the California School Nurses Organization (CSNO) in many ways, such as with our Gold Level Sponsorships to CSNO’s annual conferences. And since 2017, SNOCF has awarded 10 Grants to California school nurses and school districts.
And if you missed the opportunity on "Giving Tuesday", please consider making a tax-deductible donation of any size to support SNOCF before the end of the year!
By doing so, we will then be able to continue in our Mission to provide financial support and advocacy for school nurses through educational and leadership opportunities, special projects, and grants.

With Sincere Gratitude,
The SNOCF Board of Directors

SNOCF’s Values & Vision Statement on Representation, Equity & Inclusion
The School Nurses of California Foundation believes that racism, prejudice, and discrimination harm all children, and have a profoundly negative effect on their school achievement, health, self-efficacy, and social-emotional growth. As such, SNOCF is committed to supporting the health and educational needs of all students, regardless of race, culture, linguistic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, socioeconomic status, or disability.
SNOCF strives for representation, equity, and inclusion with all activities and programs to create equal opportunity for grants, research, professional development opportunities for school nurses, community partnerships, and other philanthropic efforts. Additionally, SNOCF actively recruits and welcomes persons from all races, backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations, genders, ethnicities, ages, and abilities to its Board of Directors.

Exciting Announcement to Share!!
The School Nurses of California Foundation, in partnership with researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), recently received a grant through the "Campus-Community Research Incubator Program" at UCI. The purpose of this collaborative research project between SNOCF and UCI will be to describe the impact of COVID-19 on California school nurses and school health services.
In order to mirror the range of diversity within school nursing services in California, the project team is now actively recruiting participants from all six regional sections of the California School Nurses Organization (CSNO) to reflect the variation of the role and responsibilities of school nurses, the provision of school health services, and the needs and resources of local communities.
