Overview

Mission

The mission of chesterfield casa is to promote safe, permanent homes for abused and neglected children by providing trained volunteers to advocate for them throughout their involvement in the juvenile court process.

What it reported doing in 2024

Chesterfield casa - the court appointed special advocates program - provides trained volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children during their involvement with the juvenile court. Our program promotes safe, permanent homes for child victims by offering factual, objective information to the court and making recommendations as to what outcomes are in the children's best interests. In the past 21 years, chesterfield casa has been a powerful voice for over 1,700 children who have come to the attention of the 12th district juvenile and domestic relations court (serving chesterfield and colonial heights).

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
