Chicago Strategic Action Council (CSAC)

https://www.prevention.org/csac/

The Chicago Strategic Action Council (CSAC) is a community-driven initiative to advance equitable prevention strategies across Chicago. Grounded in the Theory of Change, CSAC outlines a clear path from shared goals to measurable impact by identifying key drivers of change, addressing root causes, and aligning community efforts toward long-term outcomes. The CSAC operates under the Collective Impact Model, bringing together diverse stakeholders—including service providers, funders, and community leaders—to collaborate through structured, cross-sector partnerships. Through this dual framework, CSAC fosters coordinated action, shared measurement, and continuous communication to reduce disparities and improve the health and well-being of historically underserved communities.
