Georgia Center For Child Advocacy, Inc.

Georgia Center For Child Advocacy, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Atlanta, Georgia, operates as a federal grant recipient delivering child protection, trauma-informed care, and victim support services to the Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services. The organization functions as both a prime grant recipient (50% of recent awards) and a sub-recipient on grants from national intermediaries including the National Children's Alliance and the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (50% of recent awards).

Georgia Center for Child Advocacy's capability portfolio centers on three integrated service tracks: establishing and participating in local and statewide coalitions to strengthen child protection systems; delivering comprehensive forensic interviewing, trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy, and evidence-based treatment training to courts, law enforcement, and social-service professionals; and providing technical assistance to other organizations to improve protocols and practices in child abuse response and victim support. Recent prime grant work includes a $350,000 project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (CFDA 93.647) awarded August 31, 2026, running through August 30, 2027, that expands Georgia's child-abuse response through coalition work, professional training, and technical assistance under the Social Services Research and Demonstration program. The organization also holds a cooperative agreement from the Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, awarded October 1, 2023, and running through March 31, 2027, for the "Centering Our Margins" project, which delivers evidence-based treatment (Problematic Sexual Behavior-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) to youth ages twelve and under who engage in problematic sexual behavior and to child victims and families in the Atlanta metropolitan area. A third prime award, a project grant from the Department of Justice Victims of Crime office (awarded October 1, 2023, completing September 30, 2027), funds the "Envision Project," which provides educational support, employment readiness, life skills training, and case management to minor trafficking victims in the Atlanta area, along with caregiver support groups and community awareness training.

Customer concentration is dominated by two Department of Justice grant programs: the Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime (10 awards) and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (5 awards) together account for 68% of all awards. The Department of Health and Human Services, through both the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Administration for Children and Families, places the remaining awards. Georgia Center for Child Advocacy also receives flow-through sub-awards from the National Children's Alliance and the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, performing core direct Children's Advocacy Center services and forensic interviewer training. Activity declined from five awards in 2023 to one in 2024 before recovering modestly in 2025 and 2026 (two awards each year). Three awards reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete exposure. Combined dollars obligated across all awards in the source footprint total $16.7 million.
