Holiday Gala & Fundraiser - Silent Auction

Our Holiday Gala and the online silent auction held the week of our annual Holiday Gala, are our primary fundraisers. A successful online auction, combined with our in-person Gala, will enable us to provide additional grants and scholarships for the nurses and nursing students in Illinois.

Previous grants have funded research studying clinical judgment in new graduate nurses, nurse burnout, the lived experience of clinical nurse faculty, the development of a national school nurse curriculum, nursing practice during the COVID-19 pandemic, and expanding access to nurse-led care for justice-involved individuals.

The Foundation was established in 2001, and our vision, mission, and purpose provide us with the tools we need to serve the nurses and people of Illinois. We focus our efforts on developing the nursing profession to transform healthcare in Illinois. This is achieved by collaborating with community partners to promote the public's health by supporting nurses through grants, scholarships, and continuing education.
