About Kentucky Casa Network
Kentucky Casa Network Inc centers its grantmaking on operating support for local CASA programs across Kentucky, with the largest recent awards going to CASA of Lexington and CASA of the River Region. The network’s role is statewide: it provides development, training, technical assistance, resources, and advocacy to local Court Appointed Special Advocates programs so abused and neglected children have a voice in court and can reach safe, permanent homes. Recent grants show a steady pattern of support for local program infrastructure rather than isolated project funding. CASA Appalachian Mountains in Hazard, CASA Northern Bluegrass in Crestview Hills, and CASA of South Central KY in Bowling Green are among the many recipients that received operating assistance. The foundation also backs Kentucky CASA’s own convening and fundraising work through sponsorships for the 2025 Kentucky CASA Conference and participation in KY Gives Day. Other active fundraising efforts include the Commissioner's Farm to Fork Dinner, which benefits Kentucky CASA and an initiative serving children in foster care through direct support and agricultural tourism or educational experiences.
What Kentucky Casa Network Funds
Core support for local CASA programs is the clearest theme in the grant record. Kentucky Casa Network Inc gave $223,625 to CASA of Lexington for operating assistance and $186,200 to CASA of the River Region in Louisville for the same purpose. Similar operating support went to CASA of Ohio Valley in Owensboro, CASA of the Heartland in Elizabethtown, and CASA of ClayKnoxLaurel Co in London. Training and advocacy also appear in the grantmaking. The 2025 Kentucky CASA Conference, titled “Advocacy at the Core,” offers sponsorship opportunities tied to capacity building, training, and advocacy in Covington. The network also supports fundraising and membership structures that help local programs stay connected through statewide campaigns and dues-based participation. A separate strand of activity focuses on foster youth experiences. The Commissioner's Farm to Fork Dinner supports direct economic assistance and agricultural tourism or educational experiences for children in foster care.
How Kentucky Casa Network Gives
Typical awards fall in a middle band: the p25 grant size is $40,574, the median is $63,550, and the p75 is $84,060. That spread fits a program built around repeated operating assistance to local CASA affiliates rather than very large outlier grants. The recent record shows recurring support across years, with several recipients appearing in both 2024 and 2025, including CASA of Lexington, CASA of the River Region, CASA Appalachian Mountains, CASA of South Central KY, CASA of Ohio Valley, CASA of the Heartland, CASA of ClayKnoxLaurel Co, and Casa of West KY. The organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Active giving opportunities include membership, conference sponsorships, and statewide fundraising campaigns, including unsolicited participation routes.
