The AORN Foundation is the philanthropic arm of AORN, and exists to support you — the perioperative nurse. The AORN Foundation, a 501(c) (3) charitable and educational foundation, is committed to advancing surgical patient safety through funding free educational resources such as tool kits, webinars, and scholarships.
Proceeds from Foundation events support Foundation programs. Because membership dues do not fund the Foundation, donations from individuals, companies, and other organizations serve as the lifeblood of the Foundation.
Stop by the Foundation booth at Congress and become a part of the community of donors committed to the practice, image, and future of perioperative nursing. While visiting the Foundation booth, you can also obtain information about the AORN Foundation’s programs and goals, as well as scholarship opportunities
