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.
