CASA’s Resource and Opportunity Fund

If you would like your monetary donation to go directly to the children in foster care, please consider giving to our CASA’s Resource and Opportunity Fund. This pool of money is designated to support children in foster care by financially supporting opportunities such as school programs, summer camps, extracurriculars, and sports. It also allows children to be supplied with necessary resources such as beds, shoes, clothing, and job uniforms. This fund promotes a space for kids to create meaningful relationships and further develop their life skills to grow and succeed. With these funds, the children get to participate in activities that they otherwise would not be able to. We are hoping to help supplement the funding DFCS provides to a child each year, so that multiple endeavors are made possible. We strive to allow children to be children and with the help of your donation, we can provide that opportunity. *Please use the drop down box above to specify where which program you would like to donate to. ​
