NIA New deadline

RNFOO Purpose 

The Registered Nurses' Foundation of Ontario (RNFOO) is a charitable organization that provides financial support for nurses and nursing students in Ontario to further their nursing education or engage in research.

BackgroundWhat's new at RNFOO:

1972 Origin

In 1972 the RNAO Foundation was established with a mandate to establish and administer an Award and Scholarship program.

1997 Independence

In 1997 the Registered Nurses’ Foundation of Ontario was established as an organization independent from RNAO.

2007 Funds for IENs

In 2007 RNFOO added support for Internationally Educated Nurses, funded through the Royal Bank of Canada, to its commitment to supporting nurses and nursing students in Ontario.

2018 Herbert T Baily Fund

In 2018 the Ministry of the Attorney General appointed RNFOO to administer funds from the estate of Herbert T. Baily designated to support nurses recovering from illness or injury.

2019 Nurse Innovator Award

The Nurse Innovator Award (NIA) was conceived by the Honorary Life Members of the Registered Nurses’ Foundation of Ontario to design and build a mechanism whereby 100+ Nurses Who Care will enable, encourage, support and celebrate nursing innovation.  The first awards were presented at a reception on November 20, 2019.  The 2020 Nurse Innovator Awards will be presented at a reception in November.

  • The RNFOO Nurse Innovator Award (NIA) Committee is proud to share news about the 2020 Nurse Innovator Awards. Winners of more than $61,000 were announced at the Virtual Reception held on Nov 18, 2020.  If you have only a moment or two, here is the epilogue of the event:
