Friends of Connecticut CASA
We are grateful to everyone who has contributed to support our early work. Every donation helps complement our grant funding and demonstrates an increasing base of support, while providing key unrestricted resources as our lean organization grows to recruit, train, and support additional volunteer court-appointed advocates to serve children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
The donations below supplement some $170,000 in grants for 2019 and 2020, plus a $60-thousand mentoring grant for 2020-2022, $75,000 grant for 2021, $75,000 growth grant for 2022-23, and $142,391 VOCA/ARPA award of federal funds for 2022-23 through the Connecticut Judicial Branch, among others. The federal grant funds distributed through National CASA/GAL are provided by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, U.S. Department of Justice, as authorized under the Victims of Child Abuse Act of 1990. In 2020, National CASA/GAL was awarded nearly $10 million in federal grants.
