North Carolina Foundation for Nursing

The North Carolina Foundation for Nursing is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) corporation which was founded in 1988 to receive and administer funds for charitable, scientific and educational purposes related to nursing in North Carolina. Funding to support the Foundation and its activities comes from individual contributions, business donations, bequests, recognitions, and memorials. Administrative support is donated by the North Carolina Nurses Association. The mission and work of the Foundation is accomplished by the service and time donated from educated volunteers—both nurses and non-nurses. The Board of Trustees consists of members appointed by the Foundation and the North Carolina Nurses Association.
