ACAM leverages the assets of community service providers and builds cross-sector partnerships toward collective impact, creating community-wide solutions for thriving nonprofits, neighborhoods, and families. ACAM conducts research, measures outcomes, and designs programs encompassing best practices, doing so at a level at which direct-service nonprofits rarely have the resources. In turn, through ACAM, the network is increasing collaboration, promoting each other’s development, raising service standards, innovating programs, and making a greater impact in the lives of low-income families across the region.
