Dallas CASA relies on the generosity of our community to fund critical advocacy services for the abused and neglected children we serve. In order to reach and sustain our goal to serve all abused 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 an abused child.

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.

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

• $ 25 buys a phone card so separated siblings can stay in touch
• $ 100 provides a rental car for CASA to visit children placed far from the Dallas area
• $ 500 pays for brochures to increase community awareness about the CASA program
• $1,000 provides funding for mandatory background checks for fifteen volunteer candidates
• $5,000 covers expenses to recruit, train and support one volunteer serving two child victims

Our children have many needs throughout the year. Your generosity can help in many ways. Host a Gift Card Drive any time of the year to help abused children. We suggest $ 25 gift cards from Target or Walmart to purchase gifts or necessities for children; or gift cards to restaurants, movies, bookstores or sporting events for volunteers to use during visits with children.

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.

Consider honoring the birthdays or anniversaries of your loved ones with a gift to Dallas CASA in their names. Or celebrate the holidays with a friend by contributing to CASA in that friend’s honor by making a donation that helps an abused child have a happier holiday. Please complete our gift form to make your donation.

Keep the giving spirit of a friend or loved one alive through a donation in their name. In place of flowers, consider giving to Dallas CASA in memory of a loved one – continuing that person’s legacy by making a difference in the life of abused children. Please complete our gift form to make your donation.
