ALS Caregiver Support Service Grants Available through the Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging

The Arrowhead Area Agency on Aging is seeking a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) for service provision from Minnesota-based non-profits and for-profit entities to provide caregiver support services to support family caregivers of persons with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).

This funding is available because of state legislation passed in 2022. $4,650,000 in the fiscal year 2023 is appropriated from the general fund to the commissioner of human services for the Minnesota Board on Aging for caregiver support programs under Minnesota Statutes, section 256.9755. Programs receiving funding under this section must include an ALS-specific respite service in their caregiver support program. This is a one-time appropriation and is available until June 30, 2026. 

Applications will be accepted through May 31. Interested applicants can view the full RFP, and application materials can be found in this zip file.
