SOHN created the ENT Nursing Foundation at the 21st Annual Congress. This article describes the Foundation, the basics of its operation, and the benefits to SOHN and donors. The establishment of the ENT Nursing Foundation at the 21st Annual Congress of the Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head-Neck Nurses (SOHN) in San Francisco marked a professional milestone for SOHN. The Foundation established a funding method for charitable activities, professional education, and research for our members, affiliated corporations, the overall community and most importantly, our patients. The Foundation's mission is to enrich the care of the ENT patient through education and research. This Foundation can provide great personal and professional benefit to all of us by enhancing the image of SOHN as an important force in the Otolaryngology community. The Mission Statement of the ENT Nursing Foundation is to enhance the care of the ear, nose, and throat patient, by advancing the art and science of nursing through education and research funded by donations from individuals, corporations, and health care providers. Establishment of the ENT Nursing Foundation signifies a commitment to our members and our constituents through the creation of a financial entity that allows members to develop a proud legacy. This permanent endowment, entrusted to the Foundation, assists and complements the work of SOHN and other health care professionals in the care of otolaryngology patients. With funding efforts permanently established, SOHN is in a better position to provide benefit to individuals and corporations as philanthropy is encouraged throughout the ENT community. Many small donations paired with larger donations and grants can make a very powerful funding source. This funding vehicle provides a service for donors with varied interests and at various levels of giving.
