Overview

Mission

The organization supports Nevada local CASA programs which recruit, train, retain and deploy volunteers to advocate for abused or neglected children.

What it reported doing in 2024

New program growth - the executive director researches new program development ideas and participates in discussion with local CASA programs regarding new initiatives. Nevada CASA received an ARPA federal grant award to support a community awareness and volunteer recruitment campaign which enhanced staffing levels to address the needs of neglected and abused children by supporting and expanding the capacity of local Nevada CASA programs. Eight local programs received subgrants in fiscal year 2025 as a result of this new funding.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 93% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 48% for direct work, and 52% for grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
