“Empowering Nursing Excellence in Action”
SIUE School of Nursing - FY25 Funding Priorities
Contributions directly support the continued growth, success, and impact of the SIUE School of Nursing in many important ways. We are grateful to the alumni, faculty, friends, and healthcare providers that partner with the School of Nursing to advance excellence in our undergraduate and graduate nursing academic programs, facilities, equipment, and systems. All are making a difference in the education, lives, and futures of nursing students and, ultimately, in the quality of patient care provided in our region, state, and nation. Thank you for learning more about our fundraising priorities and considering supporting one or more area of impact that matter most to you!

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT NEEDS - FUND #3601
Gifts make a difference by supporting a variety of vital needs of the SIUE-SON. They directly advance important student and faculty development programs, as well as alumni relations and events. No gift is too small!
SON EMERGENCY FUND FOR STUDENTS - FUND - #7128
Gifts support nursing students experiencing unexpected personal and financial hardships. In these challenging times, having resources to help a student through difficult times can help keep them on the path to graduation and their nursing careers.
SON GENERAL SCHOLARSHIP ANNUAL AWARDS - #7180
This fund is supported by alumni and friends and accepts gifts of all sizes and bundles them to provide annual scholarships to nursing students.
SCHOOL OF NURSING DEAN'S LEADERSHIP SOCIETY - FUND # 3608
Gifts support emergency strategic priorities for the School of Nursing. A top priority is the provision of global education experiences for nursing students.
STUDENT NURSE ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT - FUND - #3603
Gifts to the Student Nurse Achievement Program (SNAP) provides life-changing nursing education and career development opportunities for underserved youth and builds the supply of highly qualified and culturally competent nursing professionals available to meet the diverse needs of patients in underserved communities in the Metro-East region.
WE CARE CLINIC EMERGING NEEDS - FUND #3912
The WE CARE Clinic is dedicated to providing quality and innovative primary health care and community public health services to all residents of the East St. Louis community and surrounding Metro East. The cost of services to patients is provided free of charge or at a reduced cost; no patient is turned away due to their inability to pay. The services are holistic in nature, and the programming is effective, culturally appropriate, and client-centered. Gifts provide needed patient-care equipment and programming and help meet the pressing needs of the community we serve.
ANESTHESIA PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT - FUND #3606
Gifts to the Anesthesia Program Development Fund help meet the needs of the Nurse Anesthesia Program. We invite you to consider a small recurring gift. If just 1:5 NA alums were to give $25/month, the program would be able to buy over $20,000 of equipment each year to help benefit our students. This would greatly enhance our ability to help our students transfer nurse anesthesia theory into practice.
HONORING THE PAST EMPOWERING THE FUTURE ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS - #8163
This fund is supported by SON alumni and accepts gifts of all sizes to build an endowed fund that provides nursing scholarships in now and in perpetuity.
MONEER DAMRA MEMORIAL NURSING SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT - #8253
This fund was established in memory of a nursing student who inspired all who knew him to challenge themselves to be the best version possible. Gifts will help ensure his fund reaches full endowment and will exist in perpetuity for the benefit of nursing students like Damra.
ADVANCED NURSING CLINICAL SIMULATION CENTER - #4312
The provision of state-of-the-art clinical simulations for undergraduate and graduate students of nursing is a strategic priority. Donors are needed to support the provision of cutting-edge clinical simulation equipment, facilities, furnishings, and systems that will be used now and move to the new facility when ready. Supporters will be advancing the future of nursing education, research, and professional development for the benefit of current and future students and the patients they will serve.
SIUE HEALTH SCIENCES COMPLEX - # 4243
The SIUE Health Sciences Complex (HSC) is a $109M, 176,000-square-foot building made possible by the Governor’s Rebuild Illinois Capital Plan. The HSC will consist of new construction and renovations to existing buildings on the SIUE campus. The School of Nursing and the School of Pharmacy will be operating in this three-story facility in a highly interdisciplinary and innovative manner.
