Request for Proposals

for
CAREGIVER TRAINING AND CAREGIVER SUPPORT
THE REVISED 2010 DEADLINES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
2/15/10 Deadline for completing on-line Intent Form
3/15/10 Deadline for invited applicants to submit proposals for 6/10 funding.
The mission of the foundation is to improve the quality of life for those in need of health and supportive services at home and in the community, regardless of age, by providing grants to organizations in Maryland.
For this 2010 initiative, we are focusing on the delivery of services to Marylanders 55 or older who need in-home care. This decision was made after months of deliberation about how we, as a small foundation, could have the most impact on community-based care for people whose needs are underserved, especially during this time of economic downturn.
We anticipate having $75,000-100,000 to grant for 2010.
The foundation invites proposals for projects in the range of $24,000-$48,000 for grants in the range of $20,000 - $40,000, i.e, for grants for 80% of the needed funds. The 20% the organization must raise for its project may be from cash or in-kind contributions.
Grantees will receive the 80% funding from Maryland Home & Community Care Foundation in June 2010. They will be encouraged to raise the 20% balance by 12/30/10.
Projects must be for
- Informal caregiver training or
- Support for caregivers of individuals or
- A combination of training and support
Care-receivers must be 55 or older and living at home, not in an assisted living facility or an institution.
