In July of 2017, the Family Caregiver Alliance of Rhode Island became incorporated and obtained 501(c)(3) status as a subsidiary under the United Way of Rhode Island (UWRI), the State’s lead partner and operator of the Point. FCARI maintains its independence from UWRI, but utilizes the benefits of non-profit status through UWRI. With our partners, FCARI has become an advocate for caregiving across the lifespan throughout Rhode Island. Although we have accomplished so much, a large percent of our family caregivers still do not receive the assistance they might need and qualify for within our current framework. FCARI and our community partners see this as an area we can work upon, to improve connection and access to services and resources. The Family Caregiver Alliance of Rhode Island, in partnership with the Office of Healthy Aging, hopes to bridge this gap with our groundbreaking 2020 RI State Plan for Family Caregivers. Our State Plan aims to expand and implement various programs and partnerships to strengthen FCARI leadership, and ensure that we can secure future funding for programs that will help our caregivers. Through 2023, FCARI and our partners will continue to ensure our work is responsive to Rhode Islander’s by being supportive and present in the community, educating ourselves regarding issues caregivers are grappling with, and most importantly, ensuring equitable access to resources and advocacy for all of our caregivers.
