Brush Country CASA

What Brush Country CASA does

Brush Country CASA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered at 203 S. 10th Street, Kingsville, Texas, founded in 2001 to recruit, train, and supervise Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers who advocate for children involved in the Texas child welfare system due to abuse or neglect. Volunteers are appointed directly by judges and serve one case at a time, providing fact-based recommendations, monitoring court orders, and offering children a consistent adult presence throughout cases that often span years with changing caseworkers and placements. The organization is a member program of the National Court Appointed Special Advocates Association and Texas CASA, the latter collectively serving the majority of Texas' 254 counties.

The core product is the CASA Volunteer Program, supported by a 30-hour initial training curriculum (plus 2 hours of courtroom observation and 12 hours of annual continuing education), a Volunteer Resource Page for ongoing education, and weekly Zoom-based information sessions for prospective volunteers. Brush Country CASA does not operate proprietary technology; its stack consists of a WordPress website, a PayPal-based donation portal, and the Optima case management platform. The organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors and led by Executive Director Jennifer Rodriguez, supported by a staff of approximately 7 including a Program Director, Outreach Coordinator, Volunteer Supervisor, and Administrative Assistant.

Brush Country CASA's business model is donation-based and event-driven, with four primary revenue streams: individual donations (online and by check), corporate sponsorships, community-organized fundraising events such as the annual Color the Way for CASA 5K race, and in-kind contributions. The organization publishes suggested recurring donation tiers of $100/month or $1,200/year to sponsor one CASA volunteer. Geographic scope is South Texas, with no disclosed expansion into new regions, product lines, or verticals.
