Grants
Important Information to Read
Alzheimer’s Arkansas does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age or disability in employment, for granting, or for the provision of programs and services. We also have grants translated into Spanish under Resources (informacion-hispana).
- PLEASE READ the application process prior to submitting a grant application. If you are applying online, please note that additional information may be needed via email/fax/mail.
- Some of our grant funding sources come with very strict guidelines for use and administration. It is very important for you to contact our office as soon as possible if you are unable to use your approved grant funds or your contact information changes. In some cases, a return of funds may be necessary if guidelines are not followed within the timeframe stipulated.
- Only 1 grant can be “open” with our organization at any given time, so it is important to use the funds and get your logs or follow up surveys turned in. You may then be eligible for another grant.
- The current granting period opens July 1 for CareLink and the Dementia Caregiver Respite Grant. The granting period will continue as long as funds are available. Grant descriptions will be updated if CLOSED.
