National CASA Grants Program

Children in fieldThe National CASA Grants Program exists to strengthen and sustain a nationwide network of CASA/GAL programs currently serving more than 240,000 abused and neglected children each year. Grants are awarded to increase the number of CASA organizations nationwide; strengthen and expand existing organizations; and increase the diversity of CASA volunteers to better reflect the children served. 

Each year, approximately one-third of CASA/GAL programs receive grants from the National CASA Association through a competitive funding process. More than $102 million in grants have been awarded since 1993.

In 2010, National CASA will award $9 million in grants to state organizations and local programs that are members of the National CASA Association through competitive and non-competitive cycles.

The National CASA grants program is funded primarily through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, with contributions from private sources including Jewelers for Children.
