Nevada Nurses Foundation

Purpose:

The Nevada Nurses Foundation (NNF) is the charitable and philanthropic arm of Nevada Nurses Association (NNA). The mission of the NNF is to increase access to quality health care for Nevada citizens by promoting professional development of nurses through recognition, grants, and scholarships.

The NNF Grants Program has been created to enhance the development of Nevada nurses and further the nursing profession by providing funding for projects, programs, and research that directly impact the health and wellness of Nevada citizens.

The Grants Program has awarded a total of $15,303 in support of various projects and programs so far.

Available Grants for 2025:

The Nevada Nurses Foundation oversees the application, scoring, and awards process for the Grants Program. Thanks to a very generous gift from the Nevada Nurses Association of $3,500, the total amount available for grants in 2025 is $6,500. This amount may be distributed among more than one grant recipient, and the Foundation reserves the right to provide partial funding for the amounts requested.

NNF grant monies cannot be used to cover salaries or indirect expenses such as overhead.
