National CASA Grants ProgramGRANT MANAGEMENT FOR CURRENT GRANTEESNational CASA provides all grantees with access to a Grantee Budget Information System (GBIS), a password protected online system for member programs. This interactive tool connects local program staff with National CASA Grants managers and is the centralized place for all grants reporting including expense reports, grant budget and grant goal adjustments. GBIS provides dates and links for other required reports including the program quarterly data report, annual survey and narrative reports. A 2011 reporting schedule is now available. We have provided a self-guided online training for current grantees.
The 2011 annual grant cycle is closed. In 2011, National CASA awarded $7.3 million in grants to member programs. Funding is provided primarily by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Additional funding comes from Jewelers for Children. Changes to 2012 and Future Grant Cycles: In order to address the consistently late funding from OJJDP and the extended delays and uncertainty of the federal appropriation process, National CASA will shift the grant process by approximately three months. Requests for proposals (RFPs) will be posted on this website in March of 2012. The award period will shift from July 1, 2012 - June 30, 2013, to October 1, 2012-September 30, 2013. An exact timeline will be posted here when it becomes available in mid-December.
