SNOCF’s Values & Vision Statement on Representation, Equity & Inclusion

The School Nurses of California Foundation believes that racism, prejudice, and discrimination harm all children, and have a profoundly negative effect on their school achievement, health, self-efficacy, and social-emotional growth. As such, SNOCF is committed to supporting the health and educational needs of all students, regardless of race, culture, linguistic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, socioeconomic status, or disability.

SNOCF strives for representation, equity, and inclusion with all activities and programs to create equal opportunities for grants, research, professional development opportunities for school nurses, community partnerships, and other philanthropic efforts. Additionally, SNOCF actively recruits and welcomes persons from all races, backgrounds, religions, sexual orientations, genders, ethnicities, ages, and abilities to its Board of Directors.

The School Nurses of California Foundation is proud to recognize the California School Nurses Organization as its premier Community Partner for its tremendous continued support for California’s school nurses!

The School Nurses of California Foundation (SNOCF) provides financial support for:

  • ​ Projects and Programs to help keep California students healthy and ready to learn.
