CAN’s Next Chapter: Positioned for Mission Advancement

With a 30-year foundation of leadership in family caregiving, and heightened national attention to this critical health care issue, CAN is uniquely positioned for momentous growth. CLC sponsorships, which account for more than half of the organization’s $1.5 million revenue, is an area of great opportunity, as is continued diversification of revenue. With caregiving issues gaining increased awareness, the CLC can extend beyond its current core membership base to include the ever-growing group of family caregiver-industry stakeholders.

While revenues for the organization have tripled over the past decade, CAN operates in an entrepreneurial, mission-driven manner to ensure its ability to offer critical caregiver resources at no cost. Its talented and committed team makes up the majority of expense in this high-touch, servicedelivery model.

Staff operate out of a leased suite of offices located at 1150 Connecticut Ave, NW in Washington, DC. The team numbers nine, including the CEO; each team member is a passionate and enthusiastic champion of CAN’s mission (see organizational chart).

CAN has a national Board of Directors with 15 seats. This dedicated group meets four times annually and is committed to advancing CAN’s mission on behalf of the 90 million family caregivers across the country. Board members are engaged in planning and thinking about innovative ways to support and serve family caregivers, representing the organization across the country in the national dialogue about family caregiving.
