Announcing the 2026 FNAMA Silent Auction!
The Foundation for Nursing Advancement in Massachusetts (FNAMA) is the charitable, professional and scholarly arm of the American Nurses Association Massachusetts, Inc. (ANAMASS). The purpose of this 501c3 charity is to advance the nursing profession through philanthropic activities that promote scholarship, nursing research and innovation.
Since its inception in 2020, FNAMA has received close to 800 applications for funding and awarded $225,000 in scholarships and grants to 61 nursing students from ADN to PhD levels! However, with that many applications for funding, the need has far outweighed the funds available to grant to students and scholars.


FNAMA relies on the generosity of our donors to achieve and expand on our mission and vision. Bid on exclusive auction items like the Presidential Platinum Signature Collection (includes a Marc Jacobs Red Shoulder Bag, Tory Burch Card Holder, Coach Red Knit Beanie, Fendi Designer Sunglasses and more), tickets to Nurses Night at the Red Sox, May 13, 2026, signed art from a Jim Henson illustrator, and exciting travel opportunities, both local and global!

 

Bid today on exciting auction items, including signed artwork, wellness items, high fashion, tickets to NursesNight@Fenway, Level99, and fantastic local and international travel destinations.  There are items for all budgets and interests.
