Here is today’s Monday Mailer for you:

Caregiving Corner

Elder justice involves not only responding to elder abuse, but active efforts to prevent it. A key component of elder abuse is the failure by a caregiver to meet an older person’s basic needs or prevent them from harm. Because of this, organizations supporting caregivers’ ability to provide high-quality care may be viable candidates for ACL’s Elder Justice Innovation Grant program.

ACL is pleased to announce the availability of approximately $3 million to continue to support the Elder Justice Innovation Grant program. The program supports the development and advancement of knowledge and approaches in new and emerging issues related to elder justice and adult maltreatment prevention. ACL plans to award up to eight cooperative agreements to undertake a range of activities in response to this opportunity. Each project will be funded with a 36-month budget of up to $500,000. Applications are due July 30, 2025. Learn more and apply here.
