About Us

ADVOCAP is a Community Action Agency (CAA), part of a nationwide network of local nonprofits that help people overcome the challenges of poverty and empower them to build better, more stable lives. CAAs provide essential services like housing support, early childhood education, energy assistance, and employment training. They’re funded by a mix of federal, state, and local grants, with the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) as their core funding. What makes CAAs unique is their community-driven approach — local people, including those living with low incomes, help guide the programs to ensure they truly meet the needs of their neighbors.

ADVOCAP has been making a difference in Green Lake, Winnebago, and Fond du Lac counties since 1966. As one of over 1,000 CAAs, we’re dedicated to helping our communities create opportunities to support people in achieving financial stability and self-sufficiency. Through our many programs, we work alongside our community to create real, lasting change. Whether it’s through partnerships, volunteers, or direct services, ADVOCAP is here to support local families and individuals on their path to a brighter future.
