About Respite for All Foundation
Respite for All Foundation backs a very specific model of dementia care: it gives seed and operating support to churches and organizations building volunteer-driven respite communities that can be replicated in new places. The foundation’s stated purpose is to inspire, grow, and mentor new respite communities and help implement an easy-to-replicate, sustainable social model of care for people living with dementia. That mission shows up consistently in the grant record through repeated $10,000 awards for program start-up costs and general support. Its recent grants include support for Living Well Respitevivian Crawley in Williamson, Georgia, and Flathead Respite Care in Kalispell, Montana, both of which received $10,000 for general support. The foundation also funds faith-based hosts such as Rockfish Presbyterian Church in Nellysford, Virginia, St John’s Episcopal Church in Pleasantville, New York, and Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. The pattern suggests a funder focused less on large institutional grants and more on helping local respite programs launch, stabilize, and spread.
What Respite for All Foundation Funds
A central theme in the foundation’s giving is program launch support. In 2024, it gave $10,000 to First English Lutheran Church in Appleton, Wisconsin, for program start-up costs, and the same amount to Orange County Department on Aging in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, for the same purpose. It also funded Anchor Place Respite-St Patrick’s Episcopal Church in Dunwoody, Georgia, with $10,000 to start up its program. Faith-based community programs are another clear lane. Grants went to Lake Street United Methodist in Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Immanuel Lutheran Church in Viroqua, Wisconsin; and First Christian Church in Madisonville, Kentucky, each for general support. Caregiver support is embedded in the foundation’s dementia respite focus, while technical assistance appears in its emphasis on helping churches and organizations implement a sustainable volunteer-driven model of care.
How Respite for All Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is tightly clustered: the 25th percentile, median, and 75th percentile are all $10,000. That points to a highly standardized grantmaking model, with most awards landing at the same level and only a few exceptions such as $9,500 and $6,000. The record also shows repeated support across 2024 and 2025, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a private operating funder with regional reach. It does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grants are generally unrestricted or tied to launch support, with language such as general support, general operating support, and start-up costs appearing often.
