What Friends of New York City Nurse Family Partnership does

Mission

To improve the lives mothers and babies by supporting the new york city nurse-family partnership program (nyc nfp)through financial assistance to enable mothers' self-sufficiency, increase social and community connections, and provide professional development for nurses.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Heart's desire awards - the heart's desire fund makes it possible for vulnerable mothers to pursue post-secondary education. The organization reviews essays from interested mothers and letters of recommendation from their nurses, and then channels money from donors to pay tuition and necessary additional resources such as metro cards, laptops, books and short-term child care. By removing the financial obstacles that face these moms, donors empower them to gain the education that will launch them on a career path and break the cycle of poverty. Financial assistance also reduces their stress, freeing them to devote their emotional energy and attention to their children during the critical, earliest years.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
