The Army Women’s Foundation works with corporations who honor the service and sacrifice of the women who volunteer to serve our country through the U.S. Army. Together, we preserve our women soldiers’ place in military history, and help them achieve success in the Army and after their service.
Our partners provide both in-kind and monetary donations. Their commitment to us is essential to fulfilling the Army Women’s Foundation mission. We are very grateful for their support.

The Army Nurse Corps Association continues to support the US Army Women’s Foundation. As one of the three components of our motto, “Preserving the Past,” suggests, one of the principal missions of the Army Nurse Corps Association is to serve as a repository and conservator of the Army Nurse Corps’ rich history. This section of our website is a key implementation of that mission, incorporating historical writings and photographs about the Corps, references, and some of the association’s own history.
History of the Army Nurse Corps Association
In 1976, a group of retired Army Nurse Corps (ANC) officers who wanted to continue in retired life the camaraderie and close ties of their ANC service met in San Antonio, marking the beginning of the Retired Army Nurse Corps Association (RANCA). As the organization grew in scope and mission, in the year 2000 the membership voted to expand membership to all ANC components – active, retired, and former – and the name was changed accordingly, dropping the “Retired.” The membership of today’s Army Nurse Corps Association (ANCA) encompasses not only retired but current and previous Army nurses of all Army components: Active, Reserve, and National Guard.
