Grants
Important to Read Before Applying for a Grant
Alzheimer’s Arkansas does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age or disability for employment, receipt of grant funds, or for the provision of programs and services. We also have grants translated into Spanish under the Resources tab (informacion-hispana).
- PLEASE REVIEW the eligibility requirements and application prior to submitting a grant application. If you are applying online, please note that you may have to fax, mail, or scan and email back additional information needed for processing.
- Some of our grant funding sources come with 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 one grant can be “open” with our organization at any given time, so it is important to use those funds and get your follow up logs or surveys turned in before applying for another grant.
- The fiscal grant year for the CareLink and the Dementia Caregiver Respite grants begin in July and continues as long as funds are available.
- Grant descriptions on this website will be updated if we run out of funding and have to close a grant.
