About Florida Network of Children's Advocacy Centers
Florida Network of Children's Advocacy Centers Inc. functions as a statewide fiscal agent for Florida’s Children’s Advocacy Centers, moving state appropriations, Department of Children & Families Trust Fund dollars, and other support to local centers. The grant record shows a consistent pattern of operating support for CACs rather than one-off project awards, with recurring funding flowing to centers in Miami, Orlando, and Fort Lauderdale, among others. That structure matches its stated role: educating and supporting children’s advocacy centers, providing specialized training and technical support, and managing and delivering funds to Florida’s CAC network. The largest recent awards in the file went to Kristi House Inc. in Miami and the Cac of Orange County Orlando Health Foundation in Orlando, both labeled support for CACs. Other large grants reached Broward Co Sexual Assault Treatment in Fort Lauderdale, Cac of Southwest Florida in Fort Myers, and Gulf Coast Kids House in Pensacola. The foundation’s giving is tightly tied to child abuse response and victim services, including medical exams, therapy, advocacy, and case management through local CACs. Its work also extends to multidisciplinary team coordination and professional support for CAC staff and partner agencies.
What Florida Network of Children's Advocacy Centers Funds
A major thread in the portfolio is direct support for local advocacy centers. Florida Network of Children's Advocacy Centers Inc. awarded $241,402 to Emerald Coast Children's Advocacy C in Niceville and $231,679 to Gulf Coast Cac in Panama City, both for support for CACs. Those awards sit alongside other center-level grants that help local organizations deliver child abuse response services. The funder also backs children’s advocacy infrastructure in metro and county-based centers. It gave $214,489 to Children's Home Society of Polk Co in Lakeland and $207,831 to Cac of Collier County in Naples, again for support for CACs. Training and professional development appear in its program mix through the Krimes Against Kids Conference Sponsorship program, which is aimed at CAC professionals. Another active mechanism is the Stop Child Abuse License Plate & Voluntary Contribution Program, which channels Florida driver contributions into support for CACs.
