American Nurses Foundation: Coronavirus Response Fund for Nurses

About

The human toll of the Coronavirus-19 pandemic is being felt throughout the nation and most acutely by the nation's largest body of health care professionals - nurses. These nurses will deliver the vast majority of patient care as COVID-19 spreads across the country.

Nurses are on the frontlines of the COVID-19 response. The Coronavirus Response Fund for Nurses enables the public to support and thank nurses. The national fund will address the current and emerging needs of nurses and will focus on:

• Providing direct financial assistance to nurses
• Supporting the mental health of nurses – today and in the future
• Ensuring nurses everywhere have access to the latest science-based information to protect themselves, prevent infection, and care for those in need
• Driving the national advocacy focused on nurses and patients
