Georgia CASA

What Georgia CASA does

Georgia Court Appointed Special Advocates, Inc. (Georgia CASA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, founded in 1988 with approximately 28 employees. Its mission is to improve the lives of children in foster care throughout the state by recruiting, training, and supervising Court Appointed Special Advocates — community volunteers appointed by Georgia courts to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The organization functions as a statewide umbrella coordinating a network of 47 local affiliate CASA programs that collectively serve all 159 Georgia counties, backed by 2,522 trained volunteers who supported 8,367 children in 2024 versus a total foster care population of 15,491 children in the state that year.

The organization's core products and services are human-services oriented rather than technology-based: (1) the CASA Volunteer Program, which recruits, screens, trains, and supervises court-appointed advocates; (2) the Affiliate Program Network, which provides coordination, training resources, and operational support to 47 local nonprofit affiliates; (3) Volunteer Recruitment and Training, including pre-service training curricula and a county-based deployment model; and (4) Donation Processing Services enabling individual donations, employer matching gifts, tribute donations, and planned giving (including stock transfers). Marketing channels include content marketing via blog series, email newsletters, an active social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube, the annual statewide conference, and fundraising events such as the Luncheon and Fashion Show.

Georgia CASA generates revenue entirely through charitable contributions — individual donations, employer matching gift programs, tribute donations, and planned giving — with no fees charged to children served or volunteers. All donations are tax-deductible under the organization's 501(c)(3) status. The organization is a member of the National CASA/GAL Association for Children, which provides national standards, training frameworks, and brand alignment. The stated cost-effectiveness claim is that one year of CASA advocacy costs less than one month of foster care. Operations are governed by a board of directors, and the 2026 strategic agenda is anchored by the 'Grow' campaign, which targets 1,000 additional volunteers and 3,000 additional children served by 2026.
