Administrative history
The South Dakota Nurses Foundation was formally created in 1999, serving as a secondary foundation to support and cooperate with the South Dakota Nurses Association. An initial version of the South Dakota Nurses Foundation existed between 1990 and 1998, but leadership issues resulted in the disbanding of this initial foundation. The South Dakota Nurses Foundation focused on three main purposes: research to increase development of nursing knowledge and health care practices, education to support health related learning and nursing advancements, and service to serve the citizens of South Dakota through the professional health field. The Board of Directors of the South Dakota Nurses Foundation have met every year since 1999, except for 2001.
