Our Vision

The Daughters of the Nile Foundation obtains funds through donations of the members of Daughters of the Nile, the public at large, grants from Federal, State, County and Municipal Governments, departments and agencies; and gifts or grants from foundations and corporations:

• to support, assist and fund the providing of medical care, research and development of new treatments, therapy, and the educational re-entry programs provided by the Shriners Hospitals for Children® to children with orthopaedic problems, severe burns and spinal cord injuries. Children who have acute, fresh burns receive the needed plastic, reconstructive or restorative surgery and the rehabilitative services from Shriners Hospitals for Children® in order to survive these medical conditions and injuries. The children receive any needed physical and occupational therapy.
• to establish a qualified permanent endowment fund to accept gifts with the income being used to further the purposes of the Foundation and to ensure that the Shriners Hospitals for Children® have the funds to continue to offer medical treatment, equipment, therapy, educational support, research and care for the children regardless of their ability to pay.

Through these programs the Foundation provides increased support for the burn and orthopaedic care, treatment, research, therapy and rehabilitative services for any child regardless of his/her ability to pay.
