HFC (Hilarity for Charity) awards home care grants to those providing care to their loved ones living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. The home care grants will be awarded across the United States and Canada. While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer’s, there is care. The goal of the home care grant is to provide exceptional home care to families affected by this disease, and to give these families support and rest. 

‍HFC respite grants cover the cost of professional, care so you can feel confident about the care being provided to your person while you take some time for yourself.

We grant two types of awards:

• Recharge Grant - 100 hours total of respite care to be used within 3 months of being awarded
• Adult Day Center Respite Grant- 24 days of respite care to be used within 3 months of the first date of care

The HFC Application Review Committee will review applications monthly. After completion of the application review, you will be contacted within 60-90 days. All applicants will be notified of their status.

Only one application per person will be accepted on a quarterly basis. Respite grants provide in-home, professional care and have NO CASH VALUE. Cash awards cannot be issued in lieu of in-home care. HFC’s partners with Home Instead to coordinate the in-home care awarded through HFC’s respite grant program.
