ADMINISTRATION FOR COMMUNITY LIVING: Second Round of Funding Available To States To Implement the National Strategy To Support Family Caregivers
ACL Announces Nearly $2 Million for Second Round of Grants To Fund State Implementation of the National Strategy To Support Family CaregiversApplications due Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET
ACL is pleased to announce the availability of approximately $2 million to support statewide implementation of the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers. ACL will award four cooperative agreements to state units on aging (SUAs) to undertake a range of activities in response to this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO). Each project will be fully funded for a period of 24 months with one, 24-month budget of up to $490,000. Each grantee will be expected to focus on implementing at least three of the five goals of the Strategy, as determined by the state’s needs and priorities, including:
Successfully implementing the actions and recommendations contained in the Strategy will require the grantees to break down siloes that exist through close collaboration by multiple agencies in the state. In this regard, each grantee will be required to work with their state’s developmental disabilities services agency and at least one other state agency (e.g., state Medicaid, public health, mental health, education, transportation, child welfare, labor, state universities, etc.) or tribe/tribal entity over the course of the project.
This will be the second round of State Implementation grants awarded to states. In 2024, the first round of four Advancing State Implementation of the National Strategy to Support Family Caregiver grantees were funded. Learn more about their current projects on ACL's grantee page. An informational call for 2025 prospective applicants will be held on July 1, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. ET.
