Overview

Mission

Casa is a program to advocate for abused and neglected children in the legal and foster system.

What it reported doing in 2024

Casa exists to find a safe, permanent home as soon as possible for abused and neglected children. Volunteers are trained and they provide a voice for the children in the court.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
