Caregiving Coalitions

With support from the Retirement Research Foundation and the Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation, the Alliance is pleased to be administering the Building Sustainable Caregiving Coalitions and a National Network Through Outreach and Technical Assistance project. The project allows the Alliance to work with 20 caregiving coalitions via four webcasts on advocacy, coalition building, and hosting successful Caregiver Awareness Day Activities. The project also enabled the Alliance to host the First National Conference for Caregiving Coalitions in March 2007 in Chicago. Please also see presentations from the Second National Conference for Caregiving Coalitions
