Robert Wood Johnson Foundation:
Faith in Action Program
This program supports faith-based community efforts to meet the challenge of caring for a family member, neighbor, or friend who suffers from a chronic health condition and to provide respite care for caregivers. Since 1993, these efforts have helped to build over 1,100 interfaith volunteer care giving programs across the country. The Foundation plans to expand this network by supporting the development of 2,000 more Faith in Action coalitions over the next seven years. In addition to providing start-up grants of $35,000, the Foundation will offer technical support and advice on how to develop successful, sustainable care giving programs.
Deadline: Ongoing; grants awarded every four months.
