Care Providers of Minnesota Foundation Scholarship Funding

Funds for Care Providers of Minnesota Foundation scholarships come from many sources:

Specific scholarship funds—Hagemeyer Fund, Goldberg Fund & Lemieux Fund
General Foundation funds
Proceeds from our annual fundraising activities—golf tournament & silent auction

New in 2024—The Doug Beardsley scholarship fund was established in 2023 to honor the memory of longtime Care Providers of Minnesota staff member Doug Beardsley. The goal of this scholarship fund is to support and encourage leadership in the long-term care field. Individuals in school to become licensed nursing home administrators, health services executives, and/or licensed assisted living directors are encouraged to apply for this scholarship.
