Virginia Nurses Foundation – A Legacy of Caring for Nurses
For more than a century, the Virginia Nurses Association has been dedicated to nurses and nursing. Building a legacy of giving of our early pioneers, VNA established the Virginia Nurses Foundation (VNF) to continue programs of support and innovation for nurses and nursing in the Commonwealth.
VNF supports the 100,000+ registered nurses across the Commonwealth by providing nursing scholarships, working to advancing the future of nursing through the Virginia Action Coalition, recognizing exceptional nurses, and publishing our popular Workplace Advocacy Guide. Read more.
