Friends of CASA can help in a number of ways,
from serving as a volunteer advocate for a child to donating resources,
assisting in public awareness, or fundraising. Capital District
CASA is a program of Mediation Matters, a 501 (c) (3) not-for-profit
organization funded through a combination of private and public
funds. CASA receives no guaranteed funding from any source.
Contributions support CASA volunteers in their efforts to guide
abused and neglected children through the over-burdened legal and
child welfare systems to safe, permanent homes where they can thrive.
Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
