The Oasis Institute has received a five-year cooperative agreement from the U.S. Administration for Community Living/Administration on Aging (ACL/AoA) to implement the National Volunteer Care Corps. This program, now called Community Care Corps, is administered by Oasis in cooperation with Caregiver Action Network and USAging (previously National Association of Area Agencies on Aging, referred to as “Administrators” in this Request for Proposals).  Altarum, a nonprofit research and consulting organization, will also be an integral part of consulting and advising the Administrators and the program.

Through an independent review committee and competitive grant-making process, the Administrators will distribute these funds to foster innovative local models to provide volunteer non-medical assistance to older adults, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers; and to evaluate the effectiveness of those models in different communities nationally.
