What enotah casa does

Enotah CASA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that recruits, screens, trains, and supervises community volunteers to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) for abused and neglected children in the juvenile court system of North Georgia. Founded in 1999, the organization operates across four counties — Lumpkin, Towns, White, and Union — and is led by Executive Director Amy Rosser, who brings more than 25 years of CASA-related experience. The organization's mission and operating model place it within the national CASA network, which collectively encompasses roughly 954 local programs, approximately 59,000 advocates, and a cumulative caseload of more than 2 million children served. Enotah CASA does not develop or deploy proprietary technology products; its operational backbone is its volunteer training curriculum, court-supervised case advocacy process, and a small professional staff of approximately six people who coordinate advocates and manage donor and community relationships.

The service model is fundamentally human-delivered: trained citizen volunteers are appointed by juvenile court judges to independently gather information, monitor case progress, and recommend outcomes in the best interest of each child in foster care or other court proceedings. Enotah CASA does not charge fees to the children or families served and has no commercial product line; its "customers" in a service-delivery sense are the local courts that appoint advocates, and in a fundraising sense are individual donors, local event sponsors, and grantmakers within its four-county region.

Enotah CASA's revenue mechanics are entirely contribution-based. The organization funds operations through individual donations, tiered event sponsorships (gala-style and community fundraising events with multiple sponsor levels), planned-giving vehicles, and employer matching-gift programs. There are no disclosed program-fee streams, contracts, or commercial pricing; financial sustainability depends on the local donor and volunteer base within its North Georgia service area, and on continued affiliation with the national CASA network for training, brand, and infrastructure support.

Revenue model

1. Individual Donations: Individual donors contribute financially through the organization's website donation portal and by mailing checks. Donors can make one-time or recurring contributions.
2. Event-Based Fundraising: The organization hosts signature fundraising events including Designer Bag Bingo (South and North), the Roundup Giving GALA, and I AM FOR THE CHILD campaigns. Corporate sponsors underwrite event costs and provide prizes, maximizing net proceeds.
3. Planned Giving and Legacy Gifts: Enotah CASA accepts bequests through wills or trusts, charitable gift annuities (CGA), and charitable IRA distributions (QCDs) for donors aged 70½+. This provides a stable long-term revenue stream.
4. Employer Matching Gifts: Donors are encouraged to multiply their impact through employer matching gift programs, which double or triple the value of individual contributions.

Core offering

Enotah CASA recruits and trains community volunteers (age 21+) who complete 40 hours of pre-service training and are then appointed by Enotah Judicial Circuit judges to serve as court-appointed special advocates for abused and neglected children in foster care. The volunteers stay with each child throughout their court case, gathering independent information, interviewing family members and professionals, attending hearings, and making recommendations to judges about the child's best interests and safe, permanent placement.

Product overview

Enotah CASA operates as a volunteer-powered advocacy organization offering a single core service: training and deploying community volunteers as court-appointed advocates for abused and neglected children. Supporting programs include the Friends of CASA volunteer option for those unable to commit to individual cases, Designer Bag Bingo fundraising events in North and South locations, an annual Giving Gala, and various donation services including planned giving and workplace matching programs. The organization uses the Optima case management system internally for volunteer and case tracking.
