Willie Mae's Legacy

Willie Mae’s Legacy Foundation is a nonprofit organization established by two sisters in loving memory of their mother, Willie Mae, who had Alzheimer’s disease. Guided by the mission to “help those who help those with Alzheimer’s disease,” the foundation focuses on supporting families and unpaid caregivers through grants and practical resources.

Its Loving Care grants are designed to provide paid caregiving support, giving caregivers time to rest, refresh, and rejuvenate while the person they care for receives assistance. The foundation also shares information about Alzheimer’s disease and caregiver needs, helping families learn more about the condition and the challenges of providing care. Its website offers resources and an application pathway for caregivers seeking grant support.

Willie Mae’s Legacy Foundation invites people to donate to its work and connect through its newsletter. By combining financial assistance with information and community engagement, the organization aims to recognize the dedication of caregivers and offer families support as they navigate Alzheimer’s disease.
