About
Us
Our
Goal
To
supply
grant
funding
to
caregivers who
experience
significant
economic
hardship
in
their
care-giving
role.
Financial
assistance
may
be
given
for
necessary
supplies,
medications,
nursing,
respite,
renovations,
and
equipment
through
qualified
service
providers
over
and
above
social,
community,
non-profit
or
government
programs
thus
complimenting
what
is
already
available
in
the
community.
Grant funding will help make it more manageable for caregivers to administer to those with dementia allowing the Foundation to meet a primary focus; to enable those struggling with dementia to stay at home longer helping significantly reduce the current overall societal cost per person of long-term care and the emotional trauma of separation to both the individual with AD or dementia and their caregiver.

The Foundation is a concept born from the personal experience of the Moulton Family and their struggle to cope with this devastating disease. June Fuller Moulton, a successful author, lost her husband, Arthur (Rusty) Moulton, to Alzheimer Disease August 18, 1995. June shares her experience, as Rusty’s primary caregiver, in We
Rage,
We
Weep:
A
Rural
Caregiver’s
Experience
Coping
with
Alzheimer’s
Disease
which has gained acclaim across the country and throughout North America.
The frightening future of Alzheimer Disease has created a desire to do something more for caregivers, which are left to carry a heavy burden with minimal assistance and to leave a lasting legacy to ensure no caregiver feels alone, isolated or without adequate financial resources again!
The Foundation supplies grant funding to caregivers who experience significant economic hardship in their care giving role. Monetary assistance may be given for any necessary service or supply not currently available through statutory funding that compliments existing community programs. Assistance will always be provided by or through qualified service providers.
Since receiving charitable status in May 2006, the Foundation has established a founding Board, build relationships with potential service providers, developed fundraising strategies, and created alliances with supportive partners such as the Alzheimer Society, Victoria Foundation, Elder Friendly Community, Family Caregiver Network, Greater Victoria Elder Care Foundation, Victoria Hospice Society, ElderCare Support Services, Victoria Society for Children with Autism, Search & Rescue Society of BC, Commissionaires, Victoria Home Support Society and British Columbia and Federal governments. In 2008 we launched Project Lifesaver of Greater Victoria, our first program.
