About National Children'S Alliance
National Children's Alliance Inc directs its grantmaking toward Children's Advocacy Centers and their local, state, and affiliated partners so children who have experienced abuse and trauma can receive coordinated services. The pattern is clear in the recent awards: large core-services grants to state networks such as Children's Advocacy Centers of Illinois, Children's Advocacy Centers of TX Inc, and Children's Advocacy Centers of Michigan, alongside support for state chapters and specialized awards for AIAN-serving centers. The funding is not limited to one service type. It includes chapter core services, state chapter development, equipment and technology, program improvement, and rural initiatives, all tied to the same goal of strengthening CAC capacity. In 2025, the foundation also backed chapters in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Georgia, Oklahoma, Maryland, Washington, Oregon, South Carolina, Florida, Wisconsin, and Vermont, showing a broad national footprint across the CAC network. Its stated summary emphasizes strengthening local partners so children receive high-quality, coordinated services that support healing. That focus appears consistently across the grants list and the active program descriptions, where capacity building, training, and service delivery are recurring themes.
What National Children'S Alliance Funds
A major line of work is chapter support. National Children's Alliance Inc awarded $375,352 to Children's Advocacy Centers of Illinois for chapter core services and $364,274 to Children's Advocacy Centers of TX Inc for the same purpose, indicating direct backing for statewide CAC infrastructure. The foundation also funds state-level networks, such as $275,747 to Children's Advocacy Centers of North Carolina for state chapter work in 2023. Another theme is support for Indigenous and rural communities. It gave $314,925 to Oglala Lakota Children's Justice Center and $301,076 to Alaska Cares under AIAN grants, and it describes a small-grants stream for rural Children's Advocacy Centers. Training and service quality are also present in the program portfolio, including evidence-based practices, accreditation alignment, and equipment and technology support for forensic interviews, medical exams, and service delivery. These examples show a mix of operating support, systems strengthening, and targeted service investments.
