ALCOVY CASA INC

What ALCOVY CASA INC does

Alcovy CASA, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 58-1981275) that recruits, trains, and supports Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers who advocate for abused and neglected children in foster care across Newton and Walton Counties, Georgia. Founded as an affiliate of the statewide Georgia CASA network, the organization operates a single integrated CASA Volunteer Program supported by 40 hours of pre-service training, court observation, swearing-in by a Juvenile Court Judge, and 12 hours of annual in-service training. It is led by Executive Director Lindsay Dycus, with county-level Advocacy Coordinators (Sharon Gustafson and Ashlyn Branan for Newton County; Kathy Suber for Walton County) and a Communications Director (Melanie Mainor), and is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Aimee Gartner.

The organization serves an addressable market of approximately 300 children per year entering foster care in its two-county service area. In 2025, it reported serving 97 children through 53 active volunteers. Alcovy CASA generates no fee-for-service revenue; it is funded entirely through individual donations (with structured tiers at $7/day, $49/week, and $2,548/year), tiered corporate sponsorships (Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze), and event-based fundraising (Gather for Good, Chick-fil-A mobile-order days, Coffee & Connections). Distribution is direct-to-children via county-assigned volunteers, and key partnerships include the Newton and Walton County Chambers of Commerce, A Child's Voice Child Advocacy Center, Chick-fil-A Covington, Mount Zion Collective, The Church Covington, and the Georgia CASA statewide network.

The technology footprint is minimal and non-differentiated: Squarespace for the website, Constant Contact for email, Bloomerang for donation processing, and Instagram as the primary social channel. No proprietary platform, API, or AI capability exists; case management is manual. The organization has accumulated credible third-party validation, including Charity Navigator's Four-Star rating, the Candid (GuideStar) Platinum Seal of Transparency, the Great Nonprofits Top-Rated badge, the 2023 Georgia CASA Innovative Affiliate Award (for the 'I Am CASA, Ask Me Why' campaign), and the 2025 Inaugural Outstanding Organization Award.
