Creating lifelong learning opportunities for orthopaedic nurses is crucial to the future of the profession and the patients they care for every day. The mission of the NAON Foundation is to provide funding for grants and scholarships to advance orthopaedic nursing practice, research, and leadership. To continue advancing important initiatives, we need your help. The NAON Foundation relies on your commitment to work together. Every individual donation touches the lives of orthopaedic nurses and helps improve the quality of care for their patients.
Impacting Lives
It is because of generous individual contributions that we can provide nurses these resources to help reach their professional goals:
* Congress scholarships;
* Evidence-based research;
* Congress Clinical Legacy Lectureship; and
* Memorial Pediatric Congress Scholarship.
With your help, more nurses are achieving their professional dreams.
Ways to Give
A contribution to the NAON Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, is more than a donation-It is a vital investment in the journey to improve nursing excellence and patient safety. Together, we can change lives, but we need your support.

Congress Scholarship Fund
Individuals, members, or chapters can contribute to the NAON Scholarship Program by designating their annual gift to the congress scholarship fund.
Named Scholarships
Individuals, companies, and organizations may establish an annual named scholarship through the NAON Foundation. Named scholarships are a minimum of $1,000 for individuals, $5,000 for corporations.
Endowed Scholarships
Endowed scholarships differ from others in that they are truly the gift that keeps on giving. Instead of the entire amount of the gift being spent outright, the total amount of the gift is invested. Each year, only a portion of the invested income earned is spent while the remainder is added to the original principal. An endowment is a perpetual gift because only the interest is used to support the Foundation while the principal continuously grows. To establish an endowed scholarship, a minimum gift of $25,000 is required.
Tributes
The NAON Foundation Tribute Gift offers a way for donors to collaborate in recognizing a special orthopaedic nurse, colleague, friend, or family member while contributing to the NAON Foundation mission.
Every donation counts and anyone can support the NAON Foundation. The holiday season is a perfect time to give the gift of knowledge with a donation in honor of your favorite orthopaedic nurse.
The NAON Foundation is the philanthropic arm of NAON and a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Your support is tax-deductible. Make a difference and give today.
