Emergency nurses are there for us when we need them most. Their work is essential to the health of ALL communities.

A donation to the ENA Foundation through the ENStrong Challenge is an investment in the advancement of patient care. Your gift will support scholarships and grants that are the fuel for emergency nurses to further their education and improve their practice, which ultimately benefits everyone.

With your help, the ENA Foundation can provide nurses with the tools to save lives.

The ENStrong Challenge -– the ENA Foundation’s largest fundraising campaign of the year for supporting scholarships, continuing education and research has begun! The campaign kicked off during the ENA Leadership Conference in January and continues through May 31.

Help the ENA Foundation reach its $500,000 goal for 2024. With your help, the Foundation can provide more support than ever before.

Donate today to the future of emergency nurses.

THE GOALS:

• Raise $500,000 to fund scholarships, grants and professional development opportunities in 2025.
• Gain participation from ALL 50 states, states plus engagement from countries and regions outside the U.S.
• Raise public awareness about the importance of emergency nursing and the impact ENA members have on communities across the globe.

THE RULES:

• The challenge timeline is Jan. 25-May 31.
• Individuals, ENA State Councils and State chapters may donate on behalf of their state.
• Each state council will have a unique campaign home page it can use to collect donations and track participation.
• States that raise $5,000 or more will have the opportunity to name a scholarship during the 2025 scholarship cycle. Gifts must be designated to scholarships at the time they are received.
  Brick paver purchases, endowment gifts, or gifts directed to other areas of support – such as research, endowment or impact funds will count toward your state’s overall total, but not toward a $5,000 named scholarship.

Your support and commitment to advancing the ENA Foundation’s mission is key to helping make an immeasurable impact on emergency nursing professionals and the lives they touch each day. Gifts made to the ENStrong campaign have helped international members travel to the U.S. for the first time to attend ENA’s annual conference, fund research that improved ED environments and provided scholarships to new nurses who went on to become ENA presidents. Thanks to contributors like you, the ENStrong Challenge can reach a new level of success.
