There are many ways to help the NLN Foundation Preserve the Past and Build the Future of nursing education. 

Throughout the year, you may give in the following ways:

  • Stock or Matching Gifts: There are two other ways of making a generous gift to the NLN Foundation: donating appreciated stocks and participating on an employer-matching program. Contact foundation@nln.org for more information and next steps.
  • Leave a Legacy: consider leaving a legacy in nursing education through the NLN Foundation.

Donors on what it means to give to the NLN

"I believe the mission of the National League for Nursing is as relevant and vital today as it was when NLN was founded in 120 year ago. Because of the benefits I have received personally and professionally and because I believe that the NLN will be a dynamic leader in creation of the preferred future for our profession and health care, I have chosen to make the NLN Foundation for Nursing Education a priority for my philanthropy." - Nancy Langston, PhD, RN, FAAN


"I have been an involved member of the National League for Nursing since 1958. In 2007, being honored as an inaugural fellow in the Academy of Nursing was very meaningful recognition in my long teaching career. With the NLN's exemplary focus on nursing education for today's faculty, I have the pleasure of providing 'the gift' of scholarships to faculty for nursing education research through the NLN Foundation for Nursing Education. Serving as a trustee on the board of the foundation, I know the importance of nursing education research for our future as the NLN's partner in our ever-changing health care system." - Dorothy Otto, EdD, RN, ANEF

 

"While nursing education is key to the future of nursing and the health of the nation, nurse educators are sadly underpaid, and nursing education research receives minimal funding. The NLN Foundation for Nursing Education is the only organization that focuses exclusively on addressing these issues through its scholarships and grants. There are many good causes that deserve your donations. I hope that the NLN Foundation is on your list." - Mary Anne Rizzolo, EdD, RN, FAAN, ANEF
