Alabama Nurses Foundation

Alabama Nurse, Mar-May 2006

The Alabama Nurses Foundation has been designated by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501 (c) (3) organization existing exclusively for charitable, educational, scientific, and literary purposes. All gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowed by applicable law.

The Foundation invites and sincerely appreciates donations in any amount.

This year the primary goal of the foundation is to raise enough money to be able to offer several scholarships to encourage nurses to become nurse educators/faculty.

The public is already aware that this nation is suffering a severe nursing shortage. Alabama is not at this shortage level yet. Alabama's severe shortage is in available nurse faculty. What this means is that just about every school of nursing in the State must turn away qualified students because they do not have the nursing faculty to accommodate the increasing enrollment.

With the ever increasing costs of tuition the Foundation want to be able to offer scholarships to individuals interested in pursuing the advance degrees required to become a faculty member of a school of nursing. But help is needed. Please invest in the future of nursing and nurses in Alabama. The Foundation invites and sincerely appreciates donations in any amount. If every nurse in Alabama would donate just a few dollars we could solve this shortage in record time.

Yes! I want to help. Here's my contribution to the Alabama Nurses Foundation.
