Su Casa

What Su Casa does

Su Casa (legally Su Casa Columbus Inc.) is a nonprofit social service organization founded in 1999 in Columbus, Indiana, that operates as the only Latino-centered social service provider in the south-central Indiana region. It delivers free, bilingual, bicultural support to Latino and immigrant families across Bartholomew, Jackson, and Shelby counties through three physical offices in Columbus, Seymour, and Shelbyville, served by a 100% Latino staff of approximately 56 employees. The organization runs five core programs — Family Support Services, Health & Wellness Programs, Economic Independence Programs, Education Programs, and Immigration Services — supplemented by the Vecinas de Enlace peer-outreach program, the METAS Summer Camp, and Translation & Interpretation Services.

The organization does not use proprietary technology; service delivery is built on human interaction, community health workers, court and medical interpreters, doulas, and educational workshops, supported by a standard English/Spanish website. Revenue is generated entirely through donations and philanthropy, including tiered individual giving ($25-$555 levels mapped to specific programs), United Way certified-agency funding from Bartholomew and Jackson counties, matching grants from the Cummins Foundation, and two annual fundraising events — Fiesta Latina (3,000+ attendees) and the Diversity Gala (352 sold-out attendees, raising approximately $100,000 in 2022 against an $80,000 goal).

Su Casa is governed by an independent Board of Directors drawing leadership from Cummins Inc. (multiple board seats), Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation, First Financial Bank, Centra Credit Union, Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce, and First Presbyterian Church (founding partner). The go-to-market model is community-led: families are reached through trusted word-of-mouth, school partnerships (BCSC, Seymour Community Schools), healthcare provider referrals (Columbus Regional Health, Schneck Medical Center, Indiana Health Centers), and civic partners such as the NAACP and Indiana Minority Health Coalition. Ashley Caceres has served as Executive Director since 2023, succeeding Whitney Amuchastegui (2018-2023) and Sylvia Babcock (2015-2018).
