Our Purposes and Programs
The Colorado Nurses Foundation (CNF) is
dedicated to improving health care and
nursing practice in Colorado. CNF began as the
Nursing Institute of Colorado on October 3, 1987. Although the
name has changed, the mission of the organization has
remained essentially the same: to provide a means for
nurses, other health care providers and consumers to work
together for quality health care. The CNF is devoted
to creating nursing excellence through the promotion of
educational and scientific activities and community based
projects. Contributions, fundraising, fees from educational
events and grants are all used to support CNF activities.
CNF became the sponsor for the prestigious Nightingale Event in 1999, and has
since raised more than $50,000 for
nursing scholarships. Nursing students throughout the State of
Colorado are encouraged to apply for CNF Scholarships which are
awarded in January of each year.
