Ventura Nursing Legacy Project

The Ventura Nursing Legacy Project is a collaboration of the Ventura County Community Foundation and California State University Channel Islands, funded through the Partners Investing in Nursing’s Future Program, a joint initiative of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Northwest Health Foundation. Its goal is to identify strategies that will have a material impact on Ventura County’s Nursing Shortage.

Our goal is to develop a common set of sustainable long-term strategies to address recruitment, health policy and diversity in the nursing profession, with emphasis on developing funding strategies for the Ventura County region.

• Determining priority issues for the region through interaction with nursing leaders and professionals.
• Engaging stakeholders across multiple sectors through symposia and nursing summits.
• Educating other funders about priority issues and developing funding strategies to address these issues.
• Working with the other PINC partners to create models that link funders to community priorities around nursing issues.

A total of $100,000 is currently available for the grantmaking priority of increasing the diversity and cultural competency of the nursing workforce in Ventura County.

Proposals are due by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, May 6, 2011
