Overview

Mission

Tulsa CASA provides an opportunity for children in foster care to be heard by an adult who cares, who will fight for them to live in safe and healthy environments, and who will be that person they can always count on to celebrate their successes and be there for them when things aren't so great.

What it reported doing in 2024

Tulsa casa is organized to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court. We promote and support volunteer representation for the children in an effort to provide each child a safe, permanent, nurturing home.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
