Meeting Caregiver Grants

How to Apply

Applications open when meeting registration opens. To be considered for a grant, complete the application by the given deadline.

April Meeting Caregiver Grant

• DAMOP Caregiver Grant
  DAMOP is pleased to announce that small grants of up to $500 are available for DAMOP meeting attendees who incur extra expenses for child or elder care during the meeting.

Allowable Expenses

• Extra child/dependent care expenses at home incurred because the primary caregiver was attending the meeting (such as overtime at a child care center, cost of a sitter, etc.)

*APS does not provide or recommend caregiving providers and does not assume responsibility or liability for caregiving services of any sort. It is the responsibility of the parent(s) or guardian(s) to thoroughly investigate all caregiving providers.

Unallowable Expenses

• Regular home-based child/dependent care expenses
• Food
• Tickets to local museums, amusement parks, etc.

Selecting Grants

If the number of requests for grants exceeds the funding, preference will be given to applicants in the early stages of their careers and applicants who have not received a caregiver grant in the past year.

Application Misrepresentation

APS reserves the right to deny funds to applicants who misrepresent their funding needs.

Changes in Circumstances

If the need for your grant changes between when you applied and the date of the meeting, you must contact APS to explain. You will be notified if your need is still eligible for funding.
