Idaho Caregiver Alliance

What Idaho Caregiver Alliance does

Idaho Caregiver Alliance (ICA) is a nonprofit coalition established in 2012 with funding from the National Lifespan Respite grant to the Idaho Commission on Aging, originally operating as the Idaho Lifespan Respite Coalition before rebranding and relocating to Boise State University's School of Public and Population Health in 2024. The organization convenes over 1,000 partners and members statewide to advocate for and support Idaho's 300,000-plus unpaid family caregivers, with particular focus on kinship/grandfamilies and Spanish-speaking caregiver populations.

The core technology and service stack centers on the Family Caregiver Navigator (FCN), a free, low-barrier remote service that delivers individualized care plans and resource referrals via a standalone website (caregivernavigator.org) and phone line, backed by a searchable Resource Library of more than 150 entries covering financial, housing, training, and medical services. The product surface is rounded out by annual in-person conferences (16th Idaho Family Caregiver Conference scheduled for February 2026; Hispanic Family Caregiver Conference), virtual webinars, Pop-Up Events launched in 2023, research programs including the annual Idaho Family Caregiver Survey and the Fit and Fall Proof evaluation, and educational/support resources for caregivers, employers, and Area Agencies on Aging.

ICA operates as a community-led coalition with a freemium, no-fee pricing model. Revenue is generated entirely through grants and donations: the founding National Lifespan Respite grant routed via the Idaho Commission on Aging, a 2025 Cambia Health Foundation grant for kinship programs, Molina Healthcare of Idaho crisis-response funding, conference sponsorships (Alzheimer's Program, National Alliance for Caregiving, St. Luke's, UnitedHealthcare, AARP, Delta Dental, Saint Alphonsus), and donations processed through Boise State University's giving platform. A core team of roughly five to ten staff (Director, Program Manager, Community Collaborator, Communications & Evaluation Coordinator, Senior Navigator), supplemented by student interns, delivers programs out of a single Boise, Idaho office.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Direct peers

• Family Caregiver Alliance: National nonprofit providing direct caregiver support, resource navigation, education, and policy advocacy. Closest direct analog to ICA's Navigator service and coalition model, but operating at national scale; ICA's statewide navigator is a localized version of FCA's core offering.
• Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers: National institute focused on caregiver advocacy, education, research, and support program replication. Operates a similar convener/coalition model with strong academic ties, making it directly comparable to ICA's Boise State-affiliated structure.
• ARCH National Respite Network: National network supporting respite and caregiver programs across the lifespan — directly comparable to ICA's origin as the Idaho Lifespan Respite Coalition and its ongoing respite-related work.
• Generations United: National nonprofit focused on kinship families and grandfamilies — directly comparable to ICA's Kinship Projects and the Idaho Kinship State Plan. ICA is a partner in Generations United's Grandfamilies & Kinship Support Network.
• Caregiver Action Network: National nonprofit providing free education, peer support, and resources for family caregivers across all conditions. Comparable in mission, free-service model, and resource library focus to ICA's Navigator and Resource Library offerings.

Broad incumbents

• AARP: The largest U.S. advocacy organization for older adults, with extensive family caregiver resources, state offices, policy work, and caregiving research. An ICA partner/sponsor that competes for the same caregiver mindshare and grant-eligible caregivers in Idaho.
• National Alliance for Caregiving: Coalition of organizations focused on advancing family caregiver issues through research, policy, and innovation. Direct thematic peer — gold sponsor of ICA's 2026 conference — and a competitor for caregiver-focused grant dollars and policy influence.
• Alzheimer's Association: Major national nonprofit providing caregiver education, support groups, and 24/7 helpline for Alzheimer's and dementia caregivers. An ICA partner that competes for the same caregiver audience in Idaho, particularly the 65,000 ADRD family caregivers ICA references.

Regional players

• Idaho Commission on Aging: State agency that originally funded ICA via the National Lifespan Respite grant. Operates Area Agencies on Aging across Idaho and is a natural peer/funder — partially overlapping with ICA's mission on aging caregiver support.

Others

• WellSky (formerly Hospice & Palliative Care-focused platforms): Healthcare technology provider serving aging, home health, and hospice providers. Listed as an OTHERS peer because, while not a direct competitor, WellSky-type platforms represent the technology-enabled direction that could either complement ICA's Navigator or pressure its manual navigation model over time.
