CASA of Lancaster County

What CASA of Lancaster County does

CASA of Lancaster County (DBA: CASA of Lancaster and Lebanon Counties) is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2009 in Pennsylvania. It recruits, trains, and supervises volunteers who are appointed by courts to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) for abused and neglected children in foster care proceedings in Lancaster and Lebanon Counties. Since inception the organization reports serving 1,203 children, training 599 volunteers, generating 101,056 volunteer hours, and accruing 675,360 volunteer-driven miles. The organization maintains a headquarters at 120 N. Shippen St. in Lancaster and a secondary office in Lebanon.

CASA of Lancaster County does not develop or sell a software product; rather, it delivers volunteer-based advocacy services in which trained CASA volunteers represent the best interests of individual children through court proceedings. There is no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML component, and no APIs or integrations referenced in the available data. Operations are administered by a staff of 1-10, supported by a Board of Directors, with volunteer recruitment and training as the central activity.

The business model is donation-funded rather than transactional. Revenue streams comprise individual donations (one-time and recurring through the Give Monthly program), corporate sponsorships tied to fundraising events, and ticketed event revenue (notably the annual Tailgate & Touchdowns Heroes Gala and Benefit Auction, plus Family Movie Day). Services to children and families are provided free of charge. The go-to-market model is community-led, with multi-channel awareness via Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, an email newsletter, and the organization website, and a direct distribution channel via court appointments from the Lancaster and Lebanon County court systems.
