The Foundation for Quality Care  is a charitable foundation that develops and implements research, education and service programs intended to foster general improvement to the quality of long term care. The Foundation administers two annual scholarship funds for long term care nurses, however, the Foundation is not endowed as a grant-making institution and does not award grants to organizations or individuals. Conversely, the Foundation is largely reliant on the generous support of public grant making entities, philanthropic institutions and private benefactors to fund the Foundation’s new, leading- edge programs and initiatives.
