Nurses Month Annual Appeal
Celebrate Nurses:
Giving Back to Those who Always Give

During Nurses Month, the Connecticut Nurses’ Foundation invites you to honor the nurses who have touched our lives by supporting our Annual Appeal. Your donation directly funds scholarships, professional development, and community health initiatives that empower nurses to provide exceptional care and stay at the forefront of healthcare innovation. From 2019 to 2024, we awarded $49,750 in scholarships to 85 nursing students and nurses from diverse backgrounds across Connecticut.
With your support, we can continue investing in the future of nursing through education, programming, and events—like our new Pickleball Tournament launched in March 2025 and upcoming fall fundraisers. Thank you for standing with us in strengthening the nursing profession and the health of our communities.

Thank You for Donating Today!

What People are Saying...

Thank you for awarding me the Sheila Packard Memorial Award! Dr. Packard sounds just like who I want to be as a nurse. She was truly incredible. I am honored to receive this scholarship[. It will greatly help me with my educational expenses this year and it sets me one step closer to becoming a nurse. Thank you so much!
Taylor Roy
Thank you so much for choosing me as the recipient of the 2023 general nursing scholarship. The scholarship will be used to pay for my laboratory, textbook and clinical fees for this semester. This alleviated significant stress, which has given me the ability to focus more on the exciting aspects of senior year, clinical and educational experiences. I aspire to be a member of the CNF board in the future. Thank you again!

I have just received word that I have been awarded the General Nursing Scholarship and I wanted to send my biggest thank you for the honor of choosing me for this amazing scholarship that will help to pay for the rest of my nursing education! My dream is to work on a step-down unit and I am getting closer and closer to that goal everyday! Thank you again for this opportunity and I hope you know how big of an impact you make on me and other students by offering these scholarships!
