What Family And Children's Center Inc does

Family & Children's Center (FCC) is a private nonprofit human services agency headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, serving more than 700-900 children and families annually across St. Joseph County. Founded in 1882 and operating from a single administrative office at 300 S. Saint Louis Blvd., Suite 100, the organization delivers early childhood and parent education programs at no cost to eligible families. Its core program portfolio comprises Healthy Families (home visiting for expectant parents and families with newborns), The Brain Train (individual and group play sessions for children under 5), Tech Crossing (Khan Academy-based kindergarten readiness for ages 3-5), Compassion Closet (tangible goods such as cribs and car seats), and Community Partners (resource navigation). The Healthy Families model is rated 'well-supported' by the Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse and is backed by 30+ years of research and 14 randomized control trials.

FCC generates no revenue from program fees; instead, it relies on a mix of foundation grants (notably a multi-year Valinhos Foundation grant funding a full-time in-home mental health therapist), individual donations accepted via credit card, Google Pay, PayPal, Venmo, ACH, and in-kind gifts, and corporate sponsorships for signature fundraising events including the Spotlight Dinner and Michiana Masters golf outing. Go-to-market is community-led: families are reached through hospital and social service referrals, in-home service delivery, and word-of-mouth. The organization operates without a proprietary technology platform; Khan Academy Kids is the only named technology tool embedded within program delivery. Leadership is provided by Executive Director Roxanne Ultz, LCSW.
