8.4 MILLION AMERICANS CARE FOR SOMEONE WITH A MENTAL ILLNESS

Family caregiving has become a public health issue that receives inadequate recognition in our country. While it can be rewarding to care for our loved ones, it often comes with significant physical, emotional and financial costs to the caregiver. On average, caregivers spend over 25% of their own income to support their loved one and provide 32 hours a week in unpaid care. AMCF currently offers a $500 financial relief grant to assist caregivers with unexpected expenses due to their caregiving role. If you are a caregiver to someone living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, schizophrenia, or other mental health/co-occurring conditions, you are not alone, and we welcome you to apply for a caregiver grant today.

Additional Information

Grants are typically awarded in amounts ranging from $500 to $1,000 and are limited to one grant per household within a 12-month period.
Applications are generally reviewed by our Board of Directors, with decisions made within 30 days of receipt.
All applicant information is kept strictly confidential. On our application, you may be asked for permission to share your caregiving story; this is optional and helps inspire and support others. Please see our Privacy Policy for details.
AMCF is committed to equity and inclusion. We do not discriminate in the distribution of grants on the basis of age, sex, gender identity or reassignment, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sexual orientation, immigration status, or income level.
