Dallas CASA relies on the generosity of our community to fund critical advocacy services for the children we serve who have been abused or neglected. In order to reach and sustain our goal to serve all children who come into protective year every year, we must grow our donor base and our future annual revenue sources to sustain the significant expansion of our program capacity.

Following are some of the ways that an individual can help a child who has been a victim of abuse.

Annual Fund

The Annual Fund provides substantial support for Dallas CASA to serve abused and neglected children throughout the year. Your financial donation is a gift that offers hope and the chance of a much brighter future for the children we serve. Please complete our gift form to make your donation.

Monetary donations

Donations of any amount provide needed services to support children who have been abused. Please complete our gift form to make your donation to make a difference in a child victim’s life.

  • $25 buys a phone card so separated siblings can stay in touch
  • $100 provides a week of tutoring sessions for a child
  • $250 reimburses travel expenses for volunteer’s out-of-town child visits
  • $500 sends one teen living in foster care to driving school
  • $1,000 sends one child to a week-long overnight summer camp
  • $5,000 provides two children with a Dallas CASA volunteer for one year

Corporate Matching Gifts

Many companies will match gifts to Dallas CASA with additional funds. Some companies match volunteer hours and in-kind donations. Find out if your employer or the employers of your friends and family have matching gift programs. Each company has its own guidelines, but many will match gifts annually. Please contact your employer’s Human Resources department for more information.

Bequests and Planned Giving
