$10K to Support Newborns and their Families: Grant money for Nurses for Newborns comes from the O\u2019Reilly Automotive Foundation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (March 13, 2025) <\/strong>\u2013 Many new parents would welcome a home visit from a nurse who could provide resources and advice for everything from infant care to postpartum depression. For some families, that help is critical \u2013 and that\u2019s the work of Nurses for Newborns (NFN).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization provides free home visits from registered nurses who have experience in obstetric, neonatal and pediatric care. They work with families of medically fragile infants, mothers with medical, mental health or substance use concerns, and teenage parents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help meet the need in Middle Tennessee, Nurses for Newborns of Tennessee has received a $10,000 grant from the O\u2019Reilly Automotive Foundation, Inc., the philanthropy arm of O\u2019Reilly Auto Parts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt NFN, we aim to ensure every baby has the opportunity to thrive,\u201d said Matt Robertson, executive director of Nurses for Newborns of Tennessee. \u201cOur work can start at the prenatal stage and continue through age 2. We support at-risk families by providing healthcare, education and resources, including things like diapers, formula, portable cribs and breast pumps \u2013 to help babies have the best possible start in life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFN has been serving Middle Tennessee for 24 years. In that time, it\u2019s completed more than 78,615 home visits benefiting more than 10,650 families. The organization is currently serving 350 to 450 families every year, who are referred by neonatal intensive care units, pediatricians, case workers and community agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were impressed with how the nurses with NFN have been able to improve outcomes for babies and families,\u201d said Julie Gray, president of the O\u2019Reilly Automotive Foundation, Inc. \u201cBecause of the home visits, nurses can assess the environment for potential hazards and make recommendations for safe sleep. They\u2019re making a huge impact with each family they visit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFN\u2019s grant is part of a year-end round of giving for the O\u2019Reilly Foundation, which awarded $1 million across 35 nonprofits nationwide. It\u2019s the largest distribution of funds from the foundation since its founding in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization is always looking for supporters and volunteers. If you\u2019d like to get involved, go online to nursesfornewborns.org\/Tennessee<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
