Alzheimer's Foundation of America Family Respite Care Grant
AFA’s Family Respite Care Grant helps alleviate the cost of respite care for families caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. Funds may be used for in-home care, adult day programs or other types of respite.
Individuals may only apply for this grant through one of AFA’s participating nonprofit member organizations, and AFA will only accept applications mailed from that member organization’s office. Applicants must meet specific requirements.
This grant is offered in the spring and fall of each year; for consideration, applications must be postmarked by:
Spring cycle – May 1
Fall cycle – November 1
The amount of each of these grants may change each year. Therefore, it is best to check with AFA for the most up-to-date information prior to applying. However, as a baseline, in 2007:
AFA awarded Family Respite Care Grants of $1,000 each to dozens of families in need of financial assistance for respite care and other care services.
