| Annotation | Social workers and human service agencies are in the forefront as service providers to caregivers of family members with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Human service agencies often depend on foundation grantmakers to support needed programmes. This article is based on a 1999 study to determine the extent to which grantmakers in the field of ageing supported elder caregiving during the past five years. It presents an overview of philanthropic trends in family elder caregiving and examples of foundation supported programmes for caregivers of Alzheimer's individuals. Grantmakers who demonstrated an interest in this field funded a range of programmes including assessment, education, support and respite programmes that target unrecognised needs and address service gaps. Implications for Alzheimers service providers seeking funding are considered. (KJ/RH). |
