The Foundation for Alaska Nurses was formed as a 501(c)3 in 2019.

The Foundation for Alaska Nurses is organized exclusively for charitable purposes within the meaning of Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and

A) To increase public knowledge and understanding of the profession of nursing and of factors affecting the health of Alaskan’s.

B) To advance and support the profession of nursing.

C) To improve the welfare of nurses.

D) To increase access to healthcare for all Alaskans.

E) To increase the continuing educational opportunities available to Alaska nurses.

F) To do what is deemed necessary and appropriate to accomplish the objectives and purposes for which this corporation is formed.

We have participated in fund raising events such as the Holiday Helping Hands to assist families of nurses in times of need during the winter holiday season.

Our fund-raising efforts primarily go to assist with providing educational opportunities at a reduced cost for nurses in our state, assist families in need and provide services to fallen nurses when requested.

We participate in providing a “Nurse Honor Guard” to nurses who have passed away either at a funeral, celebration of life, or a memorial service for the nurse. The Nightingale Tribute honors the fallen nurse and releases the nurse from duty. Your donations will assist with providing a nightingale lamp to the family, as well as white roses for the nurses to place at the picture of their colleague. For more information on the service please visit: Honor guard pays respect, releases nurses from their duty
