AONL Foundation Winter 2025 Biannual Report
As 2026 begins, we pause to celebrate a remarkable 2025 — a year of growth, strength, and renewal for the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) Foundation for Nursing Leadership and Education. Because of your generosity and commitment, nurse leaders are gaining the knowledge, resources and opportunities they need to lead with confidence and purpose. Your support continues to power our mission and advance the future of nursing leadership.
Building on the milestones we celebrated last summer, the impact of your support is both tangible and far-reaching — transforming the professional lives of nurse leaders and supporting the communities they serve across the nation. In 2025, your generosity enabled the AONL Foundation to advance its mission in meaningful ways. Together, we have:
- Supported the next generation of nurse leaders through scholarships for fellowships and professional development opportunities, ensuring that nurse leaders at every career stage have access to experiences and AONL education programs that bolster their leadership capabilities.
- Funded innovative research in nursing leadership, equipping nurse scientists and faculty with resources to explore critical areas of study and share evidence-based insights that advance nursing leadership science.
- Fostered collaboration and innovation through initiatives, roundtables and a leadership symposium — addressing timely topics from artificial intelligence to virtual nursing care delivery models providing leaders with knowledge and resources to navigate a rapidly evolving health care landscape.
This is the work you make possible through the AONL Foundation. Your generosity amplifies the impact of nurse leaders, advances nursing leadership science and ensures that research informed leadership practices reach every corner of our profession. Every grant awarded, every scholarship supporting a nurse leader and every convening of leaders reflects your commitment to those leading the future of health care.
As we look ahead to 2026, we are energized by what we can accomplish together. With your continued partnership, we will deepen our investments in nurse leaders, expand the reach of nursing leadership research and strengthen the specialty of nursing leadership nationwide. In return, we remain committed to providing our community of donors and partners with valuable resources, learnings and opportunities that advance nursing leadership.
Thank you for standing with us throughout 2025 — for your engagement, your advocacy, and belief in the mission of the AONL Foundation. Together, we are building a stronger tomorrow for nurse leaders and the patients, families and teams they serve.
With deepest appreciation,
