As we look ahead to the fiscal year 2025 (January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025), we’re energized by our vision and the impact we’re poised to make. Our focus is on strategic outcomes that will enable us to offer more scholarships, increase scholarship amounts, and grow the foundation to better serve our nursing community.

As a young and growing organization, aligning our momentum at the right time takes intentional effort—but the rewards are immeasurable. This year, our primary goals are to raise awareness of the foundation and increase donor participation.

Thanks to the generous financial support of the ANA Michigan Board, our financial standing is currently stable. However, to truly expand our impact, we must broaden our donor base. Additional funding will allow us to offer more meaningful support to nurses who are pursuing advanced education and professional development.

That’s where you come in!

We invite each member to play a part, whether through a one-time contribution or a recurring monthly gift. Every dollar helps us move closer to our shared mission. For example, if just 2,500 members gave $10 a month, we would raise $300,000 annually to support Michigan nurses in their educational journeys.

As part of our commitment to long-term impact, we recently completed a Strategic Planning Process that resulted in a Sustainability Framework for 2025 and beyond. This roadmap will guide our efforts to ensure the foundation continues to thrive.

We encourage you to reflect on the support you received during your own nursing and educational journey. Now, we have the opportunity to pay it forward and lift up the next generation of nurses.

Together, we can make a lasting difference.
