Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA) and The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation are pleased to announce the recipients of the first annual Rosalinde Gilbert Innovations in Alzheimer's Disease Caregiving Legacy Awards.

Awards of $20,000 each will be presented to three nonprofit organizations to recognize extraordinary programs that address the needs of Alzheimer's caregivers. The winning programs qualified in one of three categories: creative expression; diverse/multicultural communities; and policy and advocacy. The programs will be honored at a national conference on aging in March.

The Caregiving Legacy Awards program was established through a grant to FCA's National Center on Caregiving. A distinguished panel of judges determined the award winners from a diverse group of applicants from all over the country.
