Apart from gifts to the General Fund, ninety percent of all you give will go directly to the area you choose; NCFI will apply a ten per cent administrative charge to cover core costs of the administration and running of this project.

President’s Travel Fund

The NCFI President has a vital role in supporting national and regional activities and networks for Christian Nurses, and representing NCFI at international and regional nursing and Christian conferences. This requires regular travel (two to four times a year on average) around the world. While some NCFI presidents may work for institutions that will fund some or all this travel as part of their normal activities, it is not the case for everyone who takes on this role. 

Giving to this fund will allow the President to represent NCFI at regional, international, Christian and nursing events, and encourage Christians in nursing around the world.

Regional Leadership Development Fund

Developing professional leadership in nursing has been recognised by the WHO as vital to strengthening healthcare systems around the world. At a time of crisis in global health, the need to develop strong, adaptable and confident nurse leaders has never been greater. NCFI also believes that alongside strong professional leadership, Christians in nursing need to be developed in spiritual leadership. 

Through regionally run leadership programs, NCFI seeks to strengthen not just the professional leadership skills of nurses, but also the leadership of national bodies and our wider international work. 

This fund will support sponsorships for nurses to attend such training, and the production of training resources, etc.

Conference Assistance Fund

The backbone of NCFI’s work is our regular program of regional and global conferences. These allow Christian nurses to meet each other across national and regional boundaries for mutual learning, support and spiritual encouragement. 

To allow equal access the nurses from all nations and all backgrounds, we run a sponsorship program to help cover some of the costs of attending for nurses from more resource-poor countries.  We also aim to raise support for NCFI Regions  needing financial assistance for the technology (digital platforms and apps) needed for their regional conferences.  

This assistance via sponsorships and technology is vital to keeping NCFI a truly inclusive, global fellowship. Sponsorship awards include the cost of accommodation and conference fees – not flights, visas or other related expenses.

Support for New Fellowships

Associations of Christian nurses that have a national remit; multiple local fellowships meeting around the nation; a recognised leadership team/committee; a constitution, values, aims and objectives and a basis of faith in line with NCFI’s, are admitted to membership by the International Board upon application. 

Many other groups seek to form national networks and fellowships but may have limited skills or resources to do so. The aim of this fund is to help both groups become strong, self-sustaining fellowships. We do this through training leadership, enabling attendance at NCFI conferences for leaders and members, providing ongoing support from NCFI regional and global leadership through visits and training in-country, etc. 

This fund supports these activities, with the long-term aim of seeing new fellowships founded and flourishing in many countries.

International Institute for Christian Nursing (IICN)

The IICN develops, publicises, runs and regulates a range of professional development courses to build skills among Christian nurses, including values-based training skills, leadership, spiritual care, faith community nursing, etc. 

These courses are developed by leading academics and in collaboration with international partner organisations, and delivered nationally, as well as at regional and international conferences. 

This fund pays for course development, travel and sponsorships, registration and validation of courses, and the costs of maintaining the leadership team of the IICN.
