Every May, National Caregiver Month recognizes the dedication and sacrifices of caregivers who provide essential support to those in need. Whether they care for aging parents, individuals with disabilities, or those with chronic illnesses, caregivers play a crucial role in our communities.

Many caregivers manage daily expenses like home care, medical treatments and household necessities, often while juggling other professional and personal responsibilities. Despite their selfless dedication, financial strain is a common challenge. Fortunately, fundraising can offer much-needed relief, helping caregivers continue their invaluable work without added financial stress.

The Role of Fundraising in Supporting Caregivers

Fundraising can provide caregivers with critical financial support, easing the cost of:

• Home care services
• Transportation for medical appointments, etc.
• Everyday expenses like groceries and household essentials

Communities can raise funds to offer practical assistance, ensuring caregivers receive the support they deserve.

How FundScrip Can Help

One simple yet effective way to raise funds for caregivers is through a FundScrip campaign. With FundScrip, supporters purchase gift cards for everyday shopping, and a percentage of each purchase goes toward the selected cause, such as a caregiver relief fund. Here’s how it works:

• Start a FundScrip Campaign: Set up a campaign dedicated to supporting caregivers, whether for an individual, a family, or a local caregiver support group.
• Fundraise Through Everyday Shopping: Supporters buy gift cards for their groceries, gas, restaurants, and retail stores, and a portion of the purchase amount goes directly to the campaign.
• No Extra Cost for Supporters: Since supporters use gift cards for their regular purchases, no additional spending is required.
• Flexible Fundraising: Campaigns can be tailored to meet the needs of a single caregiver, a family, or an organization supporting multiple caregivers.
• Encourage Ongoing Participation: With FundScrip shareable campaign pages, it's easy to engage family, friends, and community members to contribute through their routine shopping, providing steady support.

Caregivers dedicate their time, energy, and resources to caring for others, now it’s time to support them. By starting a FundScrip campaign, you can make a meaningful difference in their lives. Small contributions add up, helping to ease financial burdens and show appreciation for their hard work. Start your caregiver relief fund today and give back to those who give so much.
