Canadian Nurses Foundation
Building a Stronger Canadian Healthcare System Together
The Canadian Nurses Foundation (CNF) is dedicated to strengthening the Canadian healthcare system by supporting nurses through scholarships, research, and various programs. Our mission is to invest in the future of nursing and ensure that healthcare in Canada becomes stronger, more resilient, and better equipped for the challenges of tomorrow.
Meet Our Scholars
Each year, the CNF supports exceptional nursing students across Canada by awarding over 100 scholarships and prizes. These scholarships help talented students cover the costs of books, tuition, and other essentials, ensuring that financial barriers do not hold back the next generation of nursing leaders. If you are studying nursing in Canada and are committed to excellence, you could be one of our next scholarship recipients.
Supporting Nursing Research
Research is a cornerstone of progress in healthcare. The CNF actively funds and promotes nursing research, giving professionals the resources they need to uncover new insights and improve patient care. By investing in research, the CNF drives innovation in healthcare practices and policy, ultimately improving outcomes for communities across the country.
Make a Difference: Donate in Memory of Bonnie Hall
Philanthropy plays a critical role in the work of the CNF. By making a donation, especially in memory of nursing champions like Bonnie Hall, you help fund scholarships, research projects, and innovative nursing initiatives. Your generosity ensures that nurses have the support they need to provide excellent care to all Canadians.
Nursing Education: Investing in the Future
Education is at the heart of the CNF’s mission. With more than 100 scholarships and awards, the CNF empowers nursing students to achieve their dreams and build rewarding careers. These investments in education strengthen the entire healthcare system and drive positive change for years to come.
Celebrating Excellence in Nursing Since 1962
For over six decades, the CNF has recognized and celebrated exceptional nurses and their contributions to Canadian healthcare. Through awards, recognition programs, and continued support, we honor those who embody excellence in nursing and inspire others to follow in their footsteps.
The COVID-19 Pandemic: Honoring Our Heroes
The past few years have challenged healthcare systems and professionals like never before. Nurses in Canada have remained at the forefront, working tirelessly to keep our families, friends, and communities safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
