Here is today’s Monday Mailer for you:
Family Caregivers Month
November is National Family Caregivers Month, a time to celebrate the millions of family caregivers who provide essential support to older adults and people with disabilities, while also recognizing that caregivers may need support themselves. No Wrong Door systems can help caregivers identify and navigate services, connect with resources, and access supports that address their own needs and well-being. By ensuring caregivers are supported alongside the people they care for, No Wrong Door can help strengthen families and promote greater independence and connection to the community. Learn more about ways to Celebrate National Family Caregivers Month and explore resources from the National Caregiver Support Collaborative.
Join the “Rooted in Care: From Rural Caregiver Voices to Action” webinar on November 10 at 1pm ET to hear about the experiences of rural family caregivers and discuss the realities of caregiving in rural America and opportunities to build stronger support system of support.

ADvancing States AI Infographics
ADvancing States released three infographics that share key findings from a national survey on artificial intelligence (AI) use in Information & Referral/Assistance (I&R/A) programs. The survey, conducted in the spring of 2026, gathered data on how I&R/A programs are currently using, or considering, AI tools, and what policies and practices are in place. The new series of infographics provides data findings on several topics such as AI use and considerations in I&R/A programs, the sources of AI tools, and AI governance and guidance. View the infographics here.
Community Care Corps Request for Proposals
Community Care Corps encourages organizations across the country to apply for 18-month grants ($30,000–$200,000) to develop and scale innovative volunteer programs that provide nonmedical assistance to family caregivers, older adults, and adults age 18 and older with disabilities. Projects funded through this initiative will increase the number of community-based volunteer programs available to provide nonmedical assistance while decreasing the number of family caregivers, older adults, and adults with disabilities who need assistance in maintaining independence in the community but are unable to obtain help. In doing so, the initiative will strengthen community-based supports that help people maintain independence, reduce unmet needs, and improve overall well-being. Applications are due January 6, 2027. Learn more and apply here.
