Why The Faculty of Nursing Needs Your Help

As we face the challenges of a nursing shortage, a complex health care system and an aging population, now, more than ever students and educators need additional financial resources to do what they are committed to do: treat, heal, teach and comfort those in their care, impacting each and every one of us. There is a genuine urgency for all of us who are in a position to offer support to move forward and do what we can to be part of the solution during these turbulent times of change in health care.

The profession of nursing demands a high level of educational preparation with an ever-increasing skill level. It is a profession of incredible physical, emotional, technological and intellectual challenges and your help is vital to help nurses fulfill their unique dedication to give care and comfort to others.

The values, deep and genuine personal connections and complex scientific knowledge that nursing provides are desperately needed in today’s health system. We ask you to join other generous benefactors in giving to our community of excellence. Your investment in nurse education is an investment in the future of health care.

By making an outright donation, a gift to our endowment, a life income plan or by including the Faculty of Nursing in your estate, you can help us to address the most pressing health care challenges affecting our communities.

There are several ways to make a gift. Examples include:

  • A gift of cash or securities
  • A gift in memory or in honour of a loved one
  • A planned gift, such as a bequest through your will, a gift of life insurance or pension assets

If you would like to consider making a gift , please call the Development Office at 403-220-5854. Your call will be confidential and completely without obligation.
