CASA OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY INC

What CASA OF OKLAHOMA COUNTY INC does

CASA of Oklahoma County Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, founded in 1987 and independently incorporated in July 2008, that recruits, trains, and supports court-appointed volunteer advocates for children in foster care within Oklahoma County. The organization operates a single core program — the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteer advocacy model — through which approximately 300 community volunteers are screened, trained over a 30-32 hour pre-service curriculum spanning six weeks, and appointed by juvenile court judges to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children. During fiscal year 2024, 247 active volunteers served 625 children, representing approximately 41% of the children in Oklahoma County's child welfare system, against a total annual foster-care population of more than 4,700 children statewide.

The organization's revenue model relies entirely on philanthropy, with no fee-for-service component. Four documented streams include individual donations processed through the Givebutter platform, recurring monthly contributions via the CASA Collective subscription program, corporate and foundation sponsorships (including event sponsorships), and in-kind contributions. The organization publicly states a fully-loaded program cost of approximately $2,000 per child per year, and is also a United Way Partner Agency. CASA does not operate proprietary technology; its infrastructure consists of standard nonprofit tooling — an online volunteer application portal (evintosolutions.com), the Givebutter donation platform, and the shared CASA Campus online training platform provided by the Oklahoma State CASA Association. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and led by Executive Director Kim Vanbebber, with a staff of approximately 15 supported by six advocacy supervisors.

Distribution of CASA's advocacy services occurs exclusively through judicial appointment: juvenile court judges assign trained CASA volunteers to cases, granting them legal access to confidential case information and positioning them as officers of the court. CASA of Oklahoma County holds statutory standing under Oklahoma State Statute §10A-1-1-105 and is a member of both the National CASA Association (a network of over 900 programs across 50 states) and the Oklahoma State CASA Association, which collectively provide training infrastructure, national standards, and outcome research supporting CASA's claim that children with volunteers are more likely to achieve safe, permanent homes, receive educational and support services, and re-enter foster care at less than half the rate of unmatched children.
