The Community Care Corps, funded by the Administration for Community Living and administered by Oasis in collaboration with the Caregiver Action Network (CAN) and the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (N4A), has released a RFP for innovative
local models in which volunteers assist family caregivers or directly assist older adults with disabilities with non-medical care to maintain their independence.
The RFP is now available and can be found at
www.CommunityCareCorps.org. Community Care Corps will award competitive grants between
$30,000 and $250,000 to establish, enhance, or grow volunteer programs for older adults and persons with disabilities, as well as relieve over-burdened family caregivers. A wide range of nonprofit entities, such as faith- and community-based organizations,
institutions of higher education, and service organizations, as well as state, county, and local governments are encouraged to apply.
Community Care Corps seeks to fund local models that represent a diverse cross section of the nation reflective of geography, urban/rural/frontier and Tribal communities, underserved and limited English-speaking populations, communities with limited support
programs, and more. Interested potential applicants may submit an optional Intent to Apply notice, which is available at
www.CommunityCareCorps.org.
