REACHING NEW HEIGHTS TOGETHER

Donate

The Registered Nurses Foundation of BC (RNFBC) works to address financial costs associated with nursing education through the provision of bursaries. In doing so, we help alleviate some of the pressures on these nurses and the health care system. In these challenging times, this support is increasingly important.

At RNFBC, we believe in the power of the community to make a positive impact. We are inviting you to support our student nurses as they strive to reach the peak that will complete their education and ensure more nurses are available to provide care to you and your loved ones. To achieve this, we have put together the Reaching New Heights Together campaign!

Our Challenge

We have many more students seeking support for their educational costs than we can meet. Further, our bursaries are typically $1,000 which, while helpful, does not go a long way to covering even tuition.

Why it matters

The demand for nurses is rising. Currently, on any given day in BC there are at least 1,000 nursing vacancies. We have all witnessed how the nursing shortage impacts services across the healthcare spectrum from babies to seniors.

  • Postponed surgeries
  • Emergency Room Closures
  • Lack of Nurse Practitioners for Primary Care
  • Delayed Access to Community Services and Seniors Care
  • Reduced Access to Adult and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use Services

This affects you, your loved ones – everyone in BC.

The need to help educate new nurses and provide a higher level of education for current nurses has never been greater.

How You Can Help

You can make a lasting difference by donating to the campaign and spreading the word to your friends, family and colleagues to ask them to take up the challenge. Each trip to the mountain peak will bring us closer to our goal.

Donate From Your Heart

The Reaching New Heights Together campaign is asking for a modest monthly donation such as the value of a lift pass at Grouse Mountain, Sun Peaks Resort or Whistler:

Grouse Mountain Lift Ticket

$75 = $6 a month

Sun Peaks Resort Lift Ticket

$169 = $14 a month

Whistler Blackcomb 4-Day Pass

$425 = $35 a month

Or any amount that fits the budget. Even a one-time gift is truly appreciated and will make a difference.
