For more than 120 years, the Sinclair School of Nursing has prepared nurses, educators, advanced practice registered nurse professionals and interdisciplinary researchers to lead and shape the future of nursing. Our world-class faculty and state-of-the-art facilities support our mission to improve the health of all people, especially Missourians, through discovery, teaching, practice and scholarship.
During Mizzou Giving Day, we invite you to make a philanthropic gift to help us support the legacy of the Mizzou Nurse. There may be a specific fund you have loyally supported; we appreciate your ongoing generosity for that cause. If you need inspiration on areas your gift can impact this year, please consider one of our top initiatives:
Nursing Dean’s Fund for Excellence
The Dean's Fund for Excellence is an unrestricted resource that provides the school with the flexibility to leverage matching gift opportunities crucial for securing competitive external grants aimed at student support. The fund also empowers the school to improve current learning environments, extend professional development opportunities to faculty and swiftly respond to emergency financial needs of students.
By contributing to this fund, you play a pivotal role in ensuring that the Sinclair School of Nursing can continue to provide exceptional education and support to its students, adapt to emerging challenges and maintain its commitment to excellence in nursing education.
Nursing Student and Career Success Fund
Rooted in a long tradition of academic excellence and service, the Sinclair School of Nursing is committed to supporting Mizzou Nurses throughout their careers. We recognize nurses as the foundation of strong health systems and essential partners in the care of patients, families and communities.
In today's rapidly changing and challenging health care landscape, it is critical to provide mentorship, guidance and support to both nursing students as they enter the workforce and practicing nurses as they grow in their careers.
Launched in 2024, the Nursing Student and Career Success Initiative provides programs and pathways to support healthy and sustainable careers for faculty, students and practicing nurses. Your gift will help ensure our nurses are prepared, resilient and capable of delivering exceptional care throughout their professional journey.
Nursing Faculty Scholar Fund
Recruiting and retaining talented faculty and researchers to support the growing number of students applying for our nursing program requires a proactive and strategic approach. It is crucial to support our faculty and provide them with the resources they need for compelling research, competency-based teaching, assessment and evaluation. Your philanthropic partnership elevates the resources they need to be successful.
