Pooled Funds

The Caregiver Nation Network is an initiative led by the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) with GIA as the fiscal agent. The network empowers caregivers to raise their voices with state and federal policymakers by investing in coalitions in 10 states (Arizona, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin) and providing seed funding, collaborative learning, policy education, enhanced data and insights about caregiving, and a national advocacy summit.

The Caregiver Nation Network builds on an earlier phase of work generously supported by GIA members Archstone Foundation, Bader Philanthropies, Health Foundation for Western and Central New York, RRF Foundation for Aging, and St. David’s Foundation.

Current funders include Health Foundation for Western and Central New York and RRF Foundation for Aging. The consortium of funders investing in the Caregiver Nation Network emerged from GIA’s Family Caregiving Funders Community. The Network will also work as an evaluation partner with LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston. Learn more.
