“When considering how best to support California CASA and its mission to serve foster youth, my wife and I chose to make a recurring gift through our Donor-Advised Fund. This approach ensures we can provide consistent, dedicated support. California CASA uses these resources to drive the systems change needed to improve outcomes for our most vulnerable youth. We truly believe California CASA is a catalyst for our state, for local CASA programs, and most importantly, for the children they serve.”
- Zack Scott, California CASA Board Member
