History 

     On November 13, 2003, the Articles of Incorporation of the School Nurses of California Foundation (SNOCF) received approval by the IRS to operate as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization.  
Many of the funds that SNOCF has raised over the past 16 years have been directed toward financially supporting the California School Nurses Organization (CSNO) in their efforts to provide relevant educational information and assistance to school nurses in California.  

     In 2006 SNOCF financially supported a very important collaborative effort with CSNO to revise the California Department of Education’s (CDE) Green Book to standardize many Specialized Health Care Procedures that school nurses provide to their students with special needs.  In 2016 SNOCF once again financially supported CSNO in a second significant collaborative effort to revise the CDE's manual A Guide for Vision Testing in California Public Schools 
to align with new legislation.

How We Are Funded

     The School Nurses of California Foundation relies on charitable funding, that include corporate and individual donations, to support many projects that meet the Mission of SNOCF. 
     In recent years, SNOCF has received very generous donations of funds and also donations in-kind from the following organizations and businesses:

     2018- $5,000 donation from School Health Corporation 
     2018 - G5-AED (valued at $1,895)
 from Cardiac Science Corporation 
      2016 - $5,000 donation from the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus
 
     2016 - 5,000 donation from the American Academy of Ophthalmology ​

Looking Forward

  • SNOCF is currently focusing on the issue of Chronic Absenteeism and how school nursing intervention can help increase attendance.  We have recently broadened our focus to include specifically how the Covid-19 virus will affect attendance with the re-opening of schools for the upcoming school year. 

  • SNOCF is seeking community partners and corporate sponsors who can offer additional funding or other assistance in helping us to meet our Mission, Vision, and current Focus.

  • SNOCF will continue to partner with CSNO for educational, professional training, and research projects for school nurses.

  • SNOCF will continue to offer grant funding opportunities for school nurses and school districts who recognize a need and have a solution to improve the overall health of the students they serve, and subsequently, become a resource to others for information and school health services that can be expanded.  

  • SNOCF will continue to seek Board Members to join our team in working cohesively toward our shared Mission and Vision.

School nurses understand the link between student health and academic success, and the complex factors involved in promoting and supporting student health. ​​
