Jonas Philanthropies is transforming healthcare for the better by investing where it matters most. We address high-need issues and audiences with high-impact solutions: promoting leadership in nursing and veteran’s healthcare, preventing and treating low vision and blindness, and protecting our children’s environmental health. In 2006, Barbara Jonas, a respected psychiatric social worker, and Donald Jonas, a leading retail executive, brought together their professional expertise and personal passions to address a growing crisis in our nation’s healthcare system — the shortage of professional nurses. Today, their legacy continues. With the support of the extended Jonas family, and a team of leading advisors and healthcare experts, Jonas Philanthropies is growing its commitment to address high-need audiences and issues with high-impact solutions — expanding beyond nursing and veterans healthcare to include investments in low vision and blindness, as well as children’s environmental health.
