What:

In the United States, three million children are being cared for by a grandparent, a figure that has been on the rise. When grandparents assume this responsibility, they often take on added financial and legal responsibilities, too, and with little outside assistance. This webinar provided opportunities for participants to learn about how two foundations are working to identify and meet the economic, social, and health needs of grandparents who are raising their grandchildren.
