Honeybees are fascinating creatures. They collaborate in a way that is hard for us to comprehend. The way they work together is so complete, in fact, that it really helps to think of a honeybee colony as a single organism. Similarly, hospice and palliative care nurses around the country collaborate to support the future of this vital profession.
Inspired by the importance and symbolism of the honeybee, the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Foundation (HPNF)’s spring fundraiser is designed to honor our hive. Though different from that of the honeybee, our hive consists of individuals, corporate partners, and foundations, who work together to ensure that funds are available for education and research to advance the hospice and palliative nursing specialties.
Without our hive, it would be impossible for HPNF to thrive. Through this support, HPNF will provide more than 50 awards, grants, and scholarships in 2024. Additionally, HPNF provided funding for the new Diversity in Health Care Video Series, as well as POLARIS RN, POLARIS APRN, and POLARIS Pain Management.

Hear from recent HPNF scholarship recipients about the impact of your donation!
I couldn’t be more honored. I’ve been a hospice nurse for 10 years now, and this is definitely a certification that I’ve always kept my eye on. This will benefit me as not only a hospice nurse, but as a professional who is spreading knowledge about hospice and really focusing on making sure that everybody knows what a great benefit it is.
Thank you for the tremendous honor of receiving an Annual Assembly Scholarship! This support made it possible for me to attend my first Annual Assembly to present on a topic I care so much about both personally and professionally – caring for folks with intellectual disabilities. Palliative nursing plays a critical role in our healthcare teams – thank you for investing in me!
Receiving this scholarship will assist me in my goal of achieving a master's degree in nursing education. By educating new nurses, I hope to inspire new nurses to pursue a career in hospice, and continue to grow the number of nurses dedicated to providing excellent end of life care.
This scholarship means I can continue pursuing my MSN in Nursing Executive Leadership where my goal is to continue to integrate palliative care in every area of the hospital. I'm very thankful for the opportunity and for being given this scholarship.
Thank you so much for this honor- I am thrilled to receive the Individual Education Scholarship to continue my doctoral education. I am grateful for the ongoing support HPNA and HPNF have provided me throughout my journey from nursing student to nurse researcher.
