VNA Foundation is a grantmaking organization focused on supporting home- and community-based healthcare for the medically underserved in the Chicago metropolitan area. It provides financial grants to nonprofit groups in Cook, Lake, McHenry, DuPage, Kane, and Will counties to bolster home health care services, community and school-based services, primary care and chronic disease management, and health promotion, prioritizing programs where care is delivered by nurses due to its roots with the Visiting Nurse Association of Chicago. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the foundation operates within the philanthropy and nonprofit fundraising sector, aiming to address gaps in access to care through targeted funding. The organization serves a niche in the regional health nonprofit ecosystem, underwriting program, operating, and capital needs to strengthen healthcare delivery and nursing-led services. A recent development includes a partnership with the MAVEN Project to advance telehealth services within Illinois free clinics, reflecting its ongoing collaboration to expand access to care.
