The Colorado Nurses Foundation envisions nursing as a recognized leader in shaping a sustainable, equitable, and thriving health care system for Colorado. The foundation is devoted to creating nursing excellence through the promotion of educational and scientific activities and community-based projects. Contributions, fundraising, activities and grants are used to support CNF activities.

The foundation became the sponsor for the prestigious Nightingale Event in 1999 and has raised more than $329,000 for nursing scholarships. Nursing students throughout the State of Colorado are encouraged to apply for scholarships, which are awarded each January.

The Colorado Nurses Foundation is committed to make a collective impact on a diverse, inclusive, and equitable care environment for all Colorado nurses and the Coloradans they serve. We embrace the uniqueness of all nurses and the kaleidoscope of humans of every race, color, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, or immigration path who call Colorado home. Our commitment to these values is central to our mission and guides the development and implementation of our programs and initiatives that foster nursing excellence and promotes the leadership role of nurses to create a sustainable health care system for Colorado.
