National Alliance for Caregiving

The National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) is best known as a co-author of the “Caregiving in the United States” survey series,1 one of GiveCare's foundational public sources. Rather than operating as a direct-service helpline, NAC works at the systems level, producing research, policy material, guidebooks, and coalition infrastructure that shape caregiver policy and programs.

Finding NAC resources

NAC's website at caregiving.org is most useful as a research and policy portal. It provides access to published reports, caregiver guidebooks, policy material, and collaborative programs rather than one-on-one case navigation. The organization's research covers demographics, economic impact, health outcomes, condition-specific populations, and the intersection of caregiving with employment and policy.

For specific caregiving situations

NAC runs a Transplant Caregiving Collaborative, which has produced a research series on the role of transplant caregivers2 and surveyed caregiver programs across U.S. transplant centers.3 That work is the primary public evidence base for Transplant Caregiving in this wiki.
