Statewide CAC networks
Software for statewide CAC networks
A state chapter needs every member center counting the same things the same way, without taking away what makes each center's work its own. State networks do that on Collaborate.
What a network gets
- A workspace for every center. Each member center gets its own workspace, and staff who work across centers can belong to several.
- One set of funder definitions. Funder fields use the same definitions in every workspace, so a forensic interview in one county is counted like one in the next.
- Room for local practice. Each center adds its own fields, and the funder fields are defined the same way in every workspace.
- Funder-ready data. VOCA and NCA fields are built in, with a live view of what each program is missing.
- State agency connections. Several networks built data exchanges with their child welfare agency on Collaborate. See what they built
- Each center's data kept apart. Every organization's data is isolated in the database itself.
Now in pilot with the South Carolina Network of Children's Advocacy Centers: state chapters and coalitions fund and oversee their member centers, each with its own secure workspace, with statewide VOCA, NCA and HMIS reporting rolled up across them.
“Thanks to the Collaborate team, we have a very professional system that is going to be a model for all other states in the country.”
Thomas KnappExecutive Director, South Carolina Network of Children's Advocacy Centers

Data that wins funding
The Santa Clara County Children's Advocacy Center raised an additional $2.5 million using data from Collaborate.
“Funders like to see very specific data. Once we had good data about the universe of cases out there, we were able to ask for more funding.”
Caroline RuschellChief Executive Officer, Children's Advocacy Centers of Kentucky
Moving the network to the new Collaborate
- Existing Collaborate networks are moving to the new platform.
- Network Ninja handles large migrations, with a dry run before import and an undo after.
