Overview

Mission

Phelps Harlan County CASA provides best interest advocacy for children under the protection of the court.

What it reported doing in 2024

CASA GAL Volunteers are appointed by Judges to advocate for childrens best interests. They stay with each case until it is closed and the child is in a safe permanent home. We serve children from birth through the age defined by the state statute as the limit to youth remaining in care. Volunteers work with legal and child welfare professionals educators and service providers to ensure that judges have all the information they need to make the most well-informed decisions for each child. Our best-interest advocacy is driven by the guiding principle that children grow and develop best with their family of origin if that can be safely achieved. Most of the children we work with are in foster care but some are with their family of origin. And most children who leave foster care do so to return to their family

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 76% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and liabilities are high compared with assets.
