This event is a highlight of the year for people who believe worker-ownership offers better jobs for caregivers and better care for clients.

Registration is open for the 9th annual National Home Care Cooperative Conference, scheduled for March 11-14, 2025 in Dulles, Virginia. The conference is organized by the Cooperative Development Foundation and Elevate and hosted at the headquarters of the National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation.

The National Home Care Cooperative Conference is one of the highlights of the year for people who believe worker-ownership offers better jobs for caregivers and better care for clients. Join us to celebrate the strength of unity and discover how we can reach new heights together!

Scholarships - Apply by January 10

The Cooperative Development Foundation offers scholarships to home care cooperative workers to attend the annual conference. Scholarships cover the costs of conference registration, travel and hotel (double occupancy) for qualifying home care cooperative members and are limited to up to two per home care cooperative.

In addition, a lost-wages stipend of a fixed, predetermined amount is offered exclusively to scholarship recipients who are home care workers or future home care workers (in the case of startups). The lost wages stipend is only available for those who are remunerated on an hourly basis and whose attendance at NHCC prevents them from earning a wage.

There are two ways to qualify for scholarships to the 9th Annual NHCC in 2025:

  • Benchmarking Survey Scholarships
  • NEW! Startup and Explorers Scholarships

Apply by Friday, January 10, 2025. Scholarship recipients will be notified by January 17.
