[Philanthropy News Digest] The Robert Wood Johnson and Northwest Health foundations have announced grants totaling $2 million to nine regional grantmakers working to develop strategies for creating and sustaining a viable nursing workforce.
The grants were made through the Partners Investing in Nursing's Future (PIN) program, which has awarded $12 million over the past five years to develop a nursing workforce that is large enough and equipped with the skills necessary to meet the changing demands of the patient population. Recipients include the Bingham Program in Maine, which is working to redesign nursing education in the state; the Caring for Colorado Foundation, which is working to increase the number and core competencies of home healthcare nurses; and the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan, which is addressing workforce retention issues at acute and long-term care institutions.
