The ALS Association is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity for Minnesota families impacted by ALS. Caregivers of persons with ALS in Minnesota may apply for funds to help with home care support for caregivers. These funds are available because of the tremendous efforts of late Senator David Tomassoni who championed for caregiver support funds.
Caregivers who need extra support to care for their loved one may apply. In addition to the home care support for caregivers, ALS-specific trainings will be offered to caregivers (virtually and in-person) as well as training specifically designed for professional home care providers to increase knowledge of ALS and the caregiving needs of persons with ALS, so they will be more knowledgeable about issues individuals with ALS may face.
In our commitment to equity, transparency, and accountability, we thank you in advance for providing demographic information as part of the application process.
Once submitted, please allow up to two weeks for a care services staff member to be in touch to further discuss your needs and the options available through these State of Minnesota funds.
