Caring for Carers was awarded €75,000 per annum under the 2011-2013 Funding Scheme to Support National Organisations in the Community and Voluntary Sector. This is subject to the outcome of the Comprehensive Review of Expenditure, the annual estimates process, and submission and approval of annual work plans. Under the previous scheme this organisation received €80,352 in 2010.

Funding under the scheme has been allocated following an objective and merit-based competitive process.
