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.
