Overview

Mission

The mission of the cass county casa program is to provide court appointed volunteer advocacy to abused and neglected children in order to provide a safe, permanent, nurturing home for every child it serves. The goal of the program is to represent the best interest of all abused, abandoned, and neglected children as appointed and in conjunction with the court syste in cass county.

What it reported doing in 2025

First accomplishment - cass casa has successfully advocated for children placed in the custody of the state through volunteers who oversee the functions of the state health department and their programs. Casa has supported children and their families with food, clothing and basic needs using funds provided by grants and fundraising.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
