`About HGNI`

The John A. Hartford Foundation, located in New York City, is a private philanthropy established in 1929 by John A. Hartford, who was a chief executive of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company.

The Foundation, established to provide the greatest good for the greatest number of people, currently has more than $630 million in assets, over $20 million of which is used annually to fund its grants program.

Nearly all of the Foundation's grants are directed to its Aging and Health Program, which addresses two major areas:

	Academic Geriatrics and Training
	Improving Services for Elders

The John A. Hartford Foundation Geriatric Nursing Initiative funds programs designed to increase the supply of geriatric nurses and the quality of care they provide by enhancing geriatric nursing training programs that produce the leaders of tomorrow.
