EAC Network

What EAC Network does

EAC Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit social services agency founded in 1969 and headquartered in Garden City, New York. The organization operates more than 100 programs across six service divisions: Children & Youth Services, Family & Community Services, Behavioral Health & Criminal Justice Services, Senior & Nutrition Services, and Vocational Services, serving more than 65,000 New Yorkers annually across Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk Counties) and all five NYC boroughs plus Staten Island. Its services are delivered free or at low cost and include Child Advocacy Centers, CASA, dispute resolution, parenting education, treatment courts, reentry assistance, senior meals, and vocational training.

EAC Network's revenue model is built primarily on government contracts and grants from federal, state, county, and municipal agencies including the New York State Unified Court System, Nassau and Suffolk County governments, and NYC agencies, supplemented by individual and corporate donations (such as a $20,000 GEICO contribution to Safe Start and Bank of America funding) and minor program fees. Services are delivered through dedicated program sites, government referrals, mobile outreach, and virtual channels (Cisco Webex). The organization employs 251-500 staff and is led by President and CEO Neela Mukherjee Lockel.

The technology footprint is operationally focused rather than product-oriented, relying on standard case management, telehealth, and virtual mediation platforms. There are no proprietary AI/ML systems or developer APIs disclosed; differentiation comes from 55+ years of operational history, exclusive government contracts, a 60+ volunteer mediator network, and the only unified child protection agency footprint across both Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, with the Nassau CAC opened in April 2026.
