WE ARE SO THANKFUL TO THOSE WHO GIVE TO THE MISSION OF THE MNRS FOUNDATION!
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens
can change the world: indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
-Margaret Mead
The inspiring quote by Margaret Mead is just as true today as it was then! As a membership association that relies on diverse funding to ensure the fulfillment of our mission, the Midwest Nursing Research Society appreciates each donor who generous supports the Foundation and the funding of numerous grant opportunities for nursing research.
We say THANK YOU to those who give of their time, talent, and their treasure to ensure the field of nursing research continues to elevate.

THE FOUNDER'S CIRCLE
The Foundation began philanthropically with two very important groups of donors: the Founders Circle and the Ambassadors Circle. Donors to these Circles pledged gifts over three years to endow funds for nursing research. While these Circles are no longer available for donors to join, the impact of the founding gifts will continue to foster nursing science for years to come.
The Founders Circle recognizes donors who generously contributed $3,000 or more over three years.
