Spring Fundraiser
Be an advocate for access to mental health care.
By making a GiveBIG donation on May 6-7, 2025, you are supporting psychiatric ARNP students throughout the state of Washington.
Psychiatric ARNPs are needed now more than ever. Our scholarship programs help bring them to community mental health centers, rural counties, and underserved communities struggling to find qualified mental health providers.
Through the generosity of our donors and community partners, the Foundation has awarded more than $60,000 in scholarships to 38 nurse scholars.
“It is a pleasure to see these new practitioners develop into leaders in the profession.”
Our scholars are becoming leaders in the profession.
