Overview

About Us The mission of the Oncology Nursing Foundation is to support cancer nursing excellence. Since 1981, the Oncology Nursing Foundation(ONF), 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. ONF is a national public, non-profit, tax-exempt, charitable organization headquartered in Pittsburgh, PA, and dedicated to oncology nurses from around the world. ONF welcomes contributions from the community-at-large in support of the Foundation’s mission. ONF makes it possible to give directly to the nurses who specialize in cancer care. All gifts ensure that today’s oncology nurses— and those who enter the profession in the future — have the support they need to make a difference in our increasingly complex healthcare environment. Your gift supports a well-educated nursing workforce. Your gift provides for research that leads to better outcomes. And, it’s a gift that says ‘thank you’ to those who are there for all of us, in our greatest time of need. Please contact us to learn more about supporting nurses as they bring excellence in caring to patients with cancer.
