Florida Coalition For Children

What Florida Coalition For Children does

Florida Coalition for Children (FCC) is a private nonprofit membership association headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida, founded in 1963 (originally as the Florida Association of Child and Family Agencies, or FACFA). Following Florida's 2002 transition to a community-based care model, the organization rebranded and restructured to serve as the unifying coalition for child welfare service providers and lead agencies operating across the state's 20 judicial circuits. FCC's 75+ member agencies collectively serve more than 50,000 children and families in crisis annually, and the coalition functions as the primary advocacy voice for abused, abandoned, neglected, and at-risk children in the Florida state capitol.

FCC's core offerings span advocacy, professional development, and member services. These include legislative analysis and direct lobbying via its Tallahassee presence, the FCC Annual Conference (the state's premier child welfare professional development event, scheduled for July 19–21, 2026 at Sunseeker Resort), the Rally in Tally legislative advocacy day, a recurring Training Institute webinar series covering evidence-based practices (Functional Family Therapy, Multisystemic Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy), a member-only portal with directory and resource access, a Career Center job board, and the Family Navigator Program operated in partnership with the Florida Department of Children and Families. The FCC Foundation (FCCF), a wholly-owned subsidiary, manages the education, training, and research portfolio. No proprietary technology platform underlies these offerings; delivery is web-, email-, and event-based.

FCC's revenue derives from three streams: annual membership dues (tiered by member agency budget size), conference and event registration fees (members receive discounted rates; Rally in Tally ranges from $100–$175 per attendee), and training/webinar fees (free for members; $20 per on-demand webinar for non-members). The organization also secures program sponsorship from partners such as Sunshine Health, NCFIE, Thompson Child & Family Focus, Nova Southeastern University, and ISS-USA. With a 1–10 person staff, FCC operates a lean, advocacy-driven model where influence is generated through coalition density and policy access rather than technology scale.
