(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)REPLICATE THE CHILD FIRST PROGRAM WHICH PARTNERS WITH CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES TO HELP THEM HEAL FROM THE DEVASTATING EFFECTS OF TRAUMA AND CHRONIC STRESS BY FOSTERING THE MODEL, EMBEDDED IN A SYSTEM OF CARE, WHICH WORKS TO ADDRESS THE DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG, NURTURING, CAREGIVER-CHILD RELATIONSHIPS, PROMOTING ADULT SKILL-BUILDING, AND CONNECTING FAMILIES WITH SERVICES.

Activities or mission (Part I)

POSITIVELY TRANSFORMS THE LIVES OF VULNERABLE BABIES, MOTHERS AND FAMILIES.

  • NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP IS A COMMUNITY BASED HEALTH PROGRAM THAT STRIVES TO SUCCESSFULLY CHANGE THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR CHILDREN THROUGH EVIDENCE-BASED NURSE HOME VISITING. EVERY YEAR, APPROXIMATELY 700,000 CHILDREN ARE BORN TO LOW-INCOME FIRST-TIME MOTHERS IN THE U.S. WHO ARE AT THE GREATEST RISK OF EXPERIENCING UNFAVORABLE HEALTH, EDUCATION AND ECONOMIC OUTCOMES.. BY OFFERING SUPPORT TO THIS POPULATION, NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP HELPS PREGNANT WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES TO IMPROVE THEIR HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY. EACH MOTHER IN OUR PROGRAM IS PARTNERED WITH A REGISTERED NURSE EARLY IN HER PREGNANCY AND RECEIVES ONGOING NURSE HOME VISITS THROUGH HER CHILD'S SECOND BIRTHDAY. THE PROGRAM'S THREE MAIN GOALS ARE TO (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)1) IMPROVE PREGNANCY OUTCOMES, 2) IMPROVE CHILD HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT, AND 3) IMPROVE THE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY OF THE FAMILY. THREE RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS OVER FORTY-FIVE YEARS, AND CONTINUING LONGITUDINAL FOLLOW-UP STUDIES HAVE CONFIRMED THE PROGRAM'S EFFECTIVENESS. THESE TRIAL OUTCOMES DEMONSTRATE THAT NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP DELIVERS AGAINST ITS THREE PRIMARY GOALS - MAKING MEASURABLE IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF CHILDREN, FAMILIES AND THE COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY LIVE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE FOLLOWING OUTCOMES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED AMONG PARTICIPANTS IN AT LEAST ONE OF THE TRIALS OF THE PROGRAM: 48% REDUCTION IN CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT; 56% REDUCTION IN EMERGENCY ROOM VISITS FOR ACCIDENTS AND POISONINGS; 59% REDUCTION IN ARREST AT CHILD AGE 15; 67% REDUCTION IN BEHAVIORAL AND INTELLECTUAL PROBLEMS AT CHILD AGE 6; AND 72% FEWER CONVICTIONS OF MOTHERS AT CHILD AGE 15. THE NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP NATIONAL SERVICE OFFICE (NSO) IS A 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION THAT PROVIDES LEADERSHIP, EDUCATION AND EXPERTISE TO IMPLEMENT AND SUSTAIN THE NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM NATIONWIDE. AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2024, THE NSO WAS SUPPORTING PROGRAM IMPLEMENTATION IN 40 STATES, INCLUDING WASHINGTON, D.C., THE U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND SOME TRIBAL COMMUNITIES. SINCE REPLICATION OF THE PROGRAM BEGAN IN 1996, NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP HAS SERVED MORE THAN 376,000 FAMILIES. THE NSO IS SUPPORTED THROUGH EARNED REVENUE FOR ITS SERVICES TO IMPLEMENTING AGENCIES AND DONATIONS FROM INDIVIDUALS, CORPORATIONS AND PHILANTHROPIC FOUNDATIONS. AGENCIES IMPLEMENTING THE NURSE-FAMILY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM AND SERVED BY NSO TYPICALLY INCLUDE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENTS, HOSPITALS AND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
