About Ohio Network of Children'S Advocacy Centers
The Ohio Network of Children's Advocacy Centers is a statewide funder dedicated almost exclusively to supporting county-based children's advocacy centers (CACs) and multi-disciplinary child abuse response programs across Ohio. They prioritize strengthening local CACs' direct services, multidisciplinary teams, and regional hubs that coordinate investigation, therapy, and family support for abused children. Their giving emphasizes broad geographic coverage across both urban and rural counties, ensuring most Ohio counties have funded CAC capacity.

About Ohio Network of Children'S Advocacy Centers
Ohio Network of Children's Advocacy Centers directs its giving almost entirely to county-based children's advocacy centers and multi-county child abuse response programs across Ohio. A single 2025 grant to Care House Montgomery County in Dayton reached $811,573, while another large award went to Children's Network of Stark County in Canton for $468,453. Those grants point to a funder that supports the infrastructure around forensic interviews, medical exams, therapy, and multidisciplinary response rather than isolated one-time projects. The foundation's portfolio also includes regional models such as the Mayerson Center for Safe & Healthy Children in Cincinnati and the Center for Family Safey and Healing Franklin County in Columbus. Across the recent grants list, the recipients are county-level centers serving children and families in places ranging from urban counties like Cuyahoga and Lucas to smaller counties such as Guernsey, Henry, and Tuscarawas. The pattern suggests a statewide network-builder focused on maintaining local access to child advocacy services.
