Community Care Corps Seeking Proposals to Increase the Number of Local Volunteer Programs
Community Care Corps has announced a new Request for Proposals (RFP) for innovative local models in which volunteers assist family caregivers, older adults, or adults with disabilities with non-medical care to maintain their independence. Community Care Corps will award 18-month competitive grants of $30,000-$200,000.
In this new grant cycle, Community Care Corps, which is funded by ACL, is offering two proposal options. Applicants may apply to establish, enhance, or grow a model volunteer program that utilizes volunteers to perform nonmedical tasks, provide companionship, and support family caregivers. Applicants may also apply to build a network of screened and trained volunteer chaperones to accompany older adults and adults with disabilities in need to and from non-emergency medical appointments and outpatient procedures.
An informational webinar will be held June 6, 2023, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time. The link for the webinar can be found on the Community Care Corps website. The deadline to apply is July 7, 2023, at 5:00 PM Eastern Time. More information is available here.
