When you give to the ENA Foundation, you contribute to more than just a scholarship or research grant. You’re fueling the future of emergency nursing — and the nurses who saves lives.
You help students obtain their nursing degree during a time when the ED is seen as a safety net in communities around the world. You make it possible for nurses to make an impact — from helping set health policy and best practice, to performing research or teaching at a university on some of the biggest challenges in emergency care. You also make it possible for nurses to attend the largest emergency nursing conference where they can share new knowledge with their colleagues and inspire positive change.

in scholarships and grants to over 1,800 emergency health care professionals..
In 2020, the ENA Foundation began the COVID-19 Relief Fund program supporting emergency nurses with relief funding amid the coronavirus pandemic. Emergency nurses are still needed on the front line and ENA and the ENA Foundation are dedicated to helping our emergency nurses through this challenging time. The ENA Foundation has reached the limits of the current available funding for the COVID-19 Rapid Relief Grant program. Foundation staff continues to fundraise so that we can continue to offer this vital grant. Please add your name and contact info to be notified when applications reopen.
To help us continue to fund the future of emergency nursing, please consider making a recurring annual gift to the ENA Foundation. Whether for an academic scholarship, research grant or endowment, your contribution makes a difference in the lives of emergency nurses and the patients in their care.
