The Crawford Child Advocacy Center

What The Crawford Child Advocacy Center does

The Crawford Child Advocacy Center (CCAC) is a private nonprofit organization founded in 1997 and headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado, that provides trauma-informed child abuse response and prevention services to child victims and non-offending family members in Larimer and Jackson Counties. As the only National Children's Alliance (NCA)-accredited agency in Colorado's 8th Judicial District, CCAC operates a multidisciplinary team model in partnership with law enforcement, the Department of Human Services, the District Attorney's office, and healthcare professionals. Its core services include forensic interviews, medical exams in a dedicated on-site cottage, advocacy support, and school-based prevention education. In 2025 the organization reported 335 forensic interviews, 6,879 students taught through prevention programs, and 680 non-offending family members supported.

The organization has no proprietary technology product; its core capability is the human-judgment-intensive process of conducting forensic interviews and coordinating multidisciplinary response. The only consumer product is "The Swimsuit Lesson" (and its Spanish edition "La Lección del Traje de Baño"), a $19.99 children's book authored by Jon Holsten and illustrated by Scott Freeman, sold via the CCAC website as a prevention education resource.

CCAC's revenue model is a nonprofit funding stack comprising individual donations, a monthly "Circle of Friends" recurring giving program, foundation and corporate grants, event-based fundraising (Holiday Home Tour, Air Jam For Justice, Aim to Help), corporate partnership tiers (Guardian Program at $365/year for small businesses and Keystone Partners at $5,000+/year for corporations), and product sales. In April 2024 the organization received a $250,000 contribution from Ent Credit Union. Services are delivered free of charge to child victims and families. The organization is BBB Accredited and a Candid/GuideStar Platinum transparency seal holder, and operates with 11-50 employees.
