Respite and Vacation Care Grants

At the Coleen Cunningham Foundation (CCF), we’re here to lighten the load for families touched by Atypical Parkinsonism. Our grants provide financial support for respite care and vacations, giving caregivers and loved ones a chance to rest, recharge, and make memories.

Vacation Care Grants

Take a break and create lasting memories with a vacation grant ranging from $500 to $1,000. Whether it’s a weekend escape or a longer getaway, this support helps caregivers and families relax and reconnect.

Escape the everyday—because you deserve it.

Respite Care Grants

Rest and recharge with a respite grant of $500 to $1,000. Use it for in-home care, a short stay in a facility, or support during your own medical needs—giving you peace of mind.

Time for you to breathe—we’ve got you covered.
