Securing Annual Funding for Greater Program Impact

Each and every CASA program in California strives to make sure the youth in foster care in their counties get access to caring and dedicated advocates. They provide direct services to children and devote all their resources to helping them shape a promising future even when their past has been traumatic. California CASA makes sure our 44 state programs are sustainable and have what they need to thrive and grow.

California CASA identifies and advocates for funding and partnership opportunities to meet the goals of local CASA programs so they can recruit more volunteer advocates, increase awareness for their communities, and help more children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
