Legacy Giving & Endowments
Legacy Giving with ANF
Create a lasting impact on nursing and healthcare for generations.
The American Nurses Foundation honors those who choose to make a lasting difference by including ANF in their estate or financial plans. Through planned gifts – such as bequests, beneficiary designations, charitable trusts, or other legacy arrangements – you help ensure nurses have the resources they need to lead and innovate for generations to come.
Becoming a Legacy Giving donor is more than a financial decision. It’s a powerful statement of your values and commitment to the future of healthcare. Your generosity helps advance nursing leadership, research, and innovation, shaping a healthy future for all.
As a Legacy Giving donor, you’ll be recognized and engaged through exclusive benefits:
• Recognition on ANF’s planned giving webpage and Annual Report (with permission)
• Quarterly impact updates showcasing the difference your gift makes
• Invitations to exclusive ANF events, including the Power of Nurses Celebration Dinner
• Opportunities to connect with ANF leadership and learn about initiatives you support
• A community of visionary supporters, like you, who are dedicated to advancing nursing
Why Become a Legacy Giving Donor?
Planned giving offers flexibility, potential tax benefits, and the satisfaction of knowing your legacy will strengthen nursing and healthcare for years to come. Whether through a bequest in your will, a beneficiary designation, or a charitable trust, your gift ensures that ANF’s mission endures.
