What casa capital area does

Capital Area CASA Association is a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1992 and headquartered at 848 Louisiana Avenue in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The organization recruits, screens, trains, and supervises community volunteers who serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for abused and neglected children in the East Baton Rouge Parish foster care system. CASA volunteers are appointed by judges in the 19th Judicial District Court to provide consistent, one-on-one advocacy throughout a child's time in foster care — a model explicitly differentiated from other court principals who rotate across cases. In 2025, 180 volunteer advocates served 311 children, contributed 4,822 case hours and 781 in-service training hours, drove 45,384 miles, and helped place 79 children in safe, permanent homes. The organization is a member of the Louisiana CASA Association and the National CASA/GAL Association.

The organization has no technology products or proprietary platforms; its core deliverable is human advocacy services delivered by trained, supervised volunteers. There is no commercial pricing model — services to children are free — and the organization relies entirely on contributed revenue. Funding streams include individual monthly giving tiers (Hope Giver through Champion of Change), one-time donations, corporate event sponsorships, an annual fundraiser (Casa's for CASA Fiesta, which raised a record $220,095 in 2025), public and private grants (VOCA, Louisiana Bar Foundation, Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement), and a recently legislated juror per diem donation stream enabled by House Bill 905.

Capital Area CASA operates a small paid staff of 11 employees supporting a much larger volunteer base, and is governed by an active Board of Directors led by Chair David Faulk. Its go-to-market is community-led: volunteer orientation presentations, community speaking engagements at offices, churches, and clubs, social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X), email newsletters, and the website casabr.org. The organization serves a single geographic market — East Baton Rouge Parish — and is structurally embedded in the local judicial and child welfare system through partnerships with the 19th Judicial District Court, the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services, and the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge.
