On Colorado Gives Day, we’ll be celebrating our accomplishments and making good happen for nurses in Colorado. We invite you to join us by helping us share the news about Colorado Gives Day and invite your family, friends and your personal network to participate. Every gift is tax-deductible. The Colorado Nurses Foundation is committed to making a collective impact on a diverse, inclusive, and equitable care environment for all Colorado nurses and the Coloradans they serve. We embrace the uniqueness of all nurses and the kaleidoscope of humans of every race, color, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, age, veteran status, or immigration path who call Colorado home. Our commitment to these values is central to our mission and guides the development and implementation of our programs and initiatives that foster nursing excellence and promotes the leadership role of nurses to create a sustainable healthcare system for Colorado. This day of giving is one of the many ways you can make a real difference.
