NANA Foundation

The NANA Foundation funds scholarships, chapter grants and disaster relief for the people who run associations.

Every gift to the Foundation funds Summit scholarships for early-career association staff, emergency grants for chapters recovering from disaster, and the study resources that make the CAE credential reachable regardless of budget.

The Foundation is a separate 501(c)(3) from NANA itself — gifts are tax-deductible and reported in a public annual accounting.
