Spring Annual Appeal – 35th Anniversary Campaign
The ONS Foundation, in conjunction with the 35th Anniversary of ONS during 2010, is conducting a special fundraising campaign, “35 Reasons to Celebrate”. We’re excited about this campaign that will incorporate donors creating “Circles of Commitments”, where an “ambassador” seeks 9 or more other donors to create a Circle with them. We also have a general campaign appeal, which encourages donations of $35 or more, to secure a commemorative pin.

Operating expenses, education programs, research grants, and scholarships are only a few of the areas where general donations are often needed and applied.

Endowment
Your donation to the ONS Foundation Endowment fund plays an important role in supporting the oncology nursing profession and quality patient care both now and in the years to come.

Academic Scholarship

Your gift will help to fund small and major research grants to benefit both novice and expert oncology nurse researchers.

Research Fellowships
Your donation to the Research Fellowship Program helps to support short-term oncology research training. By pairing individuals who possess advanced research preparation skills with senior investigators who have an existing program of research that is relevant to oncology nursing, we will facilitate oncology-nursing research, develop new researchers, and increase the caliber of oncology nursing research that is conducted.

Public Education Projects
Your donation to the Public Education Projects Fund helps ONS Foundation to support educational endeavors that will help to heighten the public knowledge and awareness about specific oncology-related topics.
