About us
Established in 1996, The National Alliance for Caregiving is a non-profit coalition of national organizations focusing on issues of family caregiving. The Alliance was created to conduct research, do policy analysis, develop national programs, increase public awareness of family caregiving issues, work to strengthen state and local caregiving coalitions, and represent the US caregiving community internationally. Recognizing that family caregivers provide important societal and financial contributions toward maintaining the well-being of those they care for, the Alliance’s mission is to be the objective national resource on family caregiving with the goal of improving the quality of life for families and care recipients.

We are proud to partner with 25 national organizations through our Cancer Caregiving Collaborative and Act On RAISE Campaign to comment on a proposed Consumer Financial Protection Bureau proposed rule that would stop medical debt from harming credit scores. Our comments emphasize how this rule could help ease the financial strain on family caregivers as they manage the challenges of cancer care, serious illness, disability, and aging care. We urge the CFPB to consider the vital role of family caregivers in our healthcare system and the importance of protecting their financial well-being.

Today marks the 89th anniversary of the Social Security Act – a cornerstone of support for millions, including our nation's unsung heroes: family caregivers. Did you know? Social Security isn't just for retirees. It provides vital support to family caregivers who've left the workforce to care for loved ones. Through spousal and survivor benefits, it ensures caregivers aren't left behind financially. For many caregivers, Social Security is a lifeline, offering: ✴ Income security in later years ✴ Disability coverage for long-term caregivers ✴ A safety net for those who've reduced work hours As we celebrate this milestone, let's recognize how Social Security strengthens families and supports those who sacrifice so much to care for others. #SocialSecurity #CaregiverNation #SocialSecurityAnniversary Photo credit: Social security Administration

Our President & CEO, Jason Resendez, recently talked with AARP about new research on LGBTQ+ older adults. New data reveals growing concerns about social isolation among this community, highlighting a significant gap in supportive care policies for LGBTQ+ older Americans. Jason emphasized the urgent need to strengthen the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) to recognize chosen family and better address the needs of LGBTQ+ older adults and their caregivers. This timely discussion underscores the critical intersection of policy, healthcare, and social support for LGBTQ+ Americans. It's a call to action for more inclusive and comprehensive care policies.
