The mission of the Oncology Nursing Foundation is to support cancer nursing excellence.
Since 1981, the Oncology Nursing Foundation, through generous contributions from individuals and institutions, has provided more than $33 million in funding to support oncology nursing education, research and leadership development. This funding has translated to career development awards, academic scholarships, research grants, a myriad of specialized educational initiatives, as well as nurse resiliency support. The Foundation’s activities have played a critical role in improving patient care and advancing the oncology nursing profession.
The Oncology Nursing Foundation is a national public, non-profit, tax-exempt, charitable organization headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, and dedicated to oncology nurses from around the world. The Foundation welcomes contributions from the community-at-large in support of the Foundation’s mission. Please contact us to learn more about supporting nurses as they bring excellence in caring to patients with cancer.

Leadership
Oncology nurses give fully of their vocation and compassion. The Oncology Nursing Foundation makes it possible to give directly to the nurses who specialize in cancer care. All gifts ensure that the next generation of oncology nurses will be there for all of us, in our greatest time of need.
DEIC Commitment Statement
The Oncology Nursing Society (ONS), Oncology Nursing Foundation, and Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC) are committed to advancing oncology nurses to deliver quality and equitable care to patients with cancer.
We know that diversity, equity, inclusion, and connection (DEIC) are critical to our efforts in supporting those who provide care for diverse patient populations.

Equity
Creates fair treatment and access by upholding policies and processes that remove or prevent the formation of barriers for all stakeholders who engage with ONS, the Foundation, and ONCC.
Inclusion
