The GNF is part of the Georgia Nurses Association and provides many services. Its mission is to serve as the non-profit arm of the Georgia Nurses Association. GNF activities are focused around raising funds and securing grants to provide funding for initiatives which will improve or expand opportunities for nursing education, nursing research, and nursing practice. It provides scholarships for nursing students, provides for nurse managed clinics for the homeless in the Atlanta area, and honors nurses who have contributed to nursing in our state. You can contribute to the programs administered by the Foundation in many ways.
