EnglishWhat Is the National Alliance for Caregiving (caregiving.org)?
Updated
caregiving.org is the website of the National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC), a nonprofit organization focused on family caregivers in the United States. Its stated mission is to advance research, advocacy, and resources that support family caregivers through education, policy leadership, and community engagement. If you are a family caregiver, a researcher, a policymaker, or an organization looking for caregiver-related data and policy updates, this site is designed as a hub for those materials.
What the organization does
The NAC describes its work as translating the lived experience of family caregivers into policy, system, and culture change. Its activity falls into a few broad areas:
- Research — producing national studies and data on caregiving, including the "Caregiving in the US" series and state-level data profiles.
- Advocacy — responding to federal rules and legislation, such as Medicare physician fee schedule proposals and reauthorization of the Older Americans Act.
- Education and resources — publishing reports, policy briefs, and training-related findings.
- Community engagement — hosting events and sharing caregiver stories.
Who it is for
The site centers on family caregivers — people caring for a spouse, parent, child, or other relative or friend. The homepage features portraits of caregivers such as Abena (caregiver to her husband), Maggie (caregiver to her husband and son), Myra (caregiver to her husband), and Allen (caregiver to his wife), which illustrates the range of caregiving situations the organization addresses.
Beyond individual caregivers, the content is also relevant to:
- Researchers looking for national caregiving data
- Policymakers and advocates tracking caregiver-related legislation
- Organizations that train or support caregivers
What you can find on the site
