Funding of Educational ActivitiesSupport for Nursing Continuing Education

goals is to provide funding for a variety of nursing education activities.
Examples of funding for educational activities include support of
the CE Day on the Nursing Shortage at the CNA Convention in 2002;
Support of the CE Day on Strength Through Diversity at the CNA Convention
in 2003; and support of the 2003 International Conference on Caring.

Grants
Individuals and organizations may apply to CNF for grants for educational
and scientific activities and community based projects. Examples
of projects which have received grant funding from CNF include research
on smoking cessation, development of educational materials about
the role of Advanced Practice Nurses, and support for purchase of
educational materials for at-risk teens at a crisis center. CNF also
considers requests to utilize our 501( c )(3) status to apply for
grants from other funding sources. The Nursing Heritage Project in
Colorado Springs is a recent beneficiary of this program.
