Our History
NFP was founded in 1983 as a private 501(c) (3) foundation. Headquartered
in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, NFP provides charitable support to the Pennsyl-
vania State Nurses Association (PSNA). In 2009, NFP committed to bolstering
public and private confidence by improving our structure, revitalizing processes,
and enhancing fundraising. Through diligent work, NFP acquired the Seal of
Accreditation for Standards of Excellence from the Pennsylvania Association of
Nonprofit Organizations (PANO). With these standards, donors, corporations,
and foundations know that NFP meets their needs through ethical practices and
accountability.
Since 2009, NFP has received two planned gifts and a restricted scholarship
fund. It has established a memorial fund to research post-traumatic stress
disorder. In 2016, NFP became a member of the Association of Fundraising
Professionals (AFP) and CREDC/Regional Chamber of Commerce. The gift of
scholarships from friends and alumni help students realize their aspirations to
the fullest. To date, NFP has awarded more than $173,000 to more than 120
nursing students. NFP has proudly helped nursing students and professionals
by providing them an opportunity to focus on their studies and to be well pre-
pared for the years of service they will provide.
