About Children's Advocacy Centers of North Carolina
Children's Advocacy Centers of North Carolina Inc centers its grantmaking on sub-awards that help develop, train, and sustain high-quality Children’s Advocacy Centers and Multi-Disciplinary Teams. The recent record shows a clear operating pattern: large project-restricted grants flowing to local CAC infrastructure and partner organizations rather than to individuals. In 2025, the foundation awarded $1,692,029 to Southmountain Children and Family Services Inc for CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY SUB-AWARDS, followed by $683,487 to Pat's Place Inc for the same purpose. In 2023, Southmountain Children and Family Services Inc also received $1,746,459, indicating a repeated relationship around the same sub-award structure. These grants point to a funder that supports the organizations and teams around child abuse response, victim services, legal and medical consultation, and center development. Its named focus areas also include training and professional development, advocacy and public policy, and accreditation, showing that the work is aimed at strengthening the network that serves children and families rather than funding isolated one-time activities.
What Children's Advocacy Centers of North Carolina Funds
Child abuse prevention and victim services sit at the center of the foundation’s portfolio. It gave $595,207 in 2025 to Carousel Center and $279,148 to Safechild Advocacy Center for CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY SUB-AWARDS, both tied to the same network-building purpose. The grant list also shows support for multidisciplinary and clinical partnerships: Atrium Health received $449,974 in 2025 for CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY SUB-AWARDS, while East Carolina University (school of Pediatrics)tedi Bear Cac received $550,224 in 2025. Those awards align with the foundation’s stated emphasis on multidisciplinary team support, legal and medical consultation, and child victim services and healing. Across the recent grants, the funding pattern is less about isolated projects and more about keeping the CAC and MDT model functioning across local service systems.
