Legacy Fund

 | "With
true relationships, a sense of freedom flourishes, freedom to know
oneself, and to be known, to be not only the recipient of care, but the
shapers of that care -- to act with others, rather than being only
acted upon by others."
~ Carter Catlett Williams
| Pioneer Network Introduces
The Carter Williams Legacy Fund
Pioneer
Network believes in the opportunity to make home with dignity a reality
for today's elders and for future generations. At the heart of our
work is to transform aging communities into settings that provide
choice, relationship and home; to create and support innovative
alternatives to help people stay in their independent homes and
communities; and to change the way that elders live and age across
America.
We recognize that inspired
and empowered people are truly at the heart of all change. To support
the engagement of more hands, we have established The Carter Williams
Legacy Fund for personal growth in those who desire to make a
difference in their elder care communities. This fund is named in
honor of Carter Catlett Williams, Convener of the Pioneer Network in
the late 1990's, whose compassion and leadership has inspired countless
pioneers around the nation and the world. It is also inspired by other
early "pioneers" in the culture change movement who will be recognized
each year.
We Invite You to Apply Today!
The
Carter Williams Legacy Fund is a grant program to support the personal
growth of individuals involved in creating a new culture of elder care
and aging. If you have a desire to create change or to be a catalyst
for inspiration in your community, we invite you to apply. Grants
will be awarded for a full range of activities. For example, perhaps
you'd like to attend a conference, work with a coalition or to order
educational materials that support person-directed care for your
co-workers.
