Our purpose

The RCN Foundation is committed to supporting and strengthening nursing to improve the health and wellbeing of the public. We achieve our purpose in three different ways:

• we support individual members of the nursing team by making grants for hardship and education

• we invest in the nursing profession to improve patient care by funding nursing-led projects in our priority areas

• we champion nursing through activities that raise the profile of the profession and strengthen public understanding of its contribution to improving the nation’s health
