The Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) - State and Community Grant Program aims to help develop and expand dementia-capable services in states and communities. There are two options: one for state agencies to build state-wide systems and another for community organizations to address specific service gaps. The goal is to support people with dementia and their caregivers by providing quality, person-centered services.
Who it's for: This grant is for state agencies designated for dementia-capability and community-based organizations that operate within existing dementia-capable systems. States and territories without active ADPI grants and community organizations without active grants are eligible. Priority is given to those who haven't received similar grants since before 2014.
