32Nd Judicial District Child Advocacy Center

32Nd Judicial District Child Advocacy Center, a Tennessee-based tax-exempt nonprofit, operates as a federal grant sub-recipient delivering child abuse response and victim services funded through the Department of Justice. The organization does not hold prime contracts or IDVs and operates entirely as a sub-recipient on federal grant awards.

The center's federal footprint consists of three sub-grant awards totaling $140 thousand in obligated federal dollars, all flowing through two distinct Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs funding streams. Two awards derive from the Victims of Crime Act 2023 program, awarded through the Tennessee Department of Finance and Administration as the prime grantee, with the most recent sub-award dated July 1, 2026 and a prior sub-award dated July 1, 2025. The third award, dated February 26, 2026, flows through National Children's Alliance Inc., the prime grantee, and funds the center's core operations — coordinated multidisciplinary response to child abuse, including forensic interviews, victim advocacy, and mental health services. All three sub-awards fall under the Office of Justice Programs' victim-services and juvenile-justice portfolio rather than law-enforcement or prosecution funding lines.

Activity has been sparse but consistent, with one award in 2025 and two in 2026. The center's role is operational delivery of direct services to child victims rather than program administration or research; there is no evidence of subcontracting activity, prime contracting capability, or participation on federal vehicles. The organization's federal engagement is narrowly scoped to state-administered victim-services grants and pass-through funding from national child-advocacy networks, with no diversification across federal customer agencies or funding mechanisms.
