Community Action Coalition for South Central Wisconsin (CAC) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization serving Dane, Jefferson, and Waukesha counties. Since our establishment in 1966, CAC has remained steadfast in its commitment to build meaningful partnerships and step into areas where the community needs us most. By advocating for and shaping systems, policies, and programs, we work so that every community member has the support they need to thrive. CAC is governed by a tripartite Board of Directors representing public, private, and low-income interests, in accordance with the Community Action requirements. This structure ensures balanced representation and shared governance across sectors, while centering on the voices of individuals and families experiencing poverty. The Board of Directors oversees a broad range of services across our three-county area including: housing security, nutrition and health, and financial empowerment. All members of the board shall represent either Dane, Jefferson, or Waukesha County, and are formally appointed by the CAC Board Members representing the Low-Income Sector on the CAC Board of Directors.
