Nevada CASA serves children in foster care by recruiting, screening, training, and supporting volunteers to become Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) who are appointed by judges to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children.
Nevada Casa Association Inc directs its giving toward a single, consistent purpose: expanding awareness of CASA and supporting volunteer recruitment across Nevada counties. The largest recent grant in the file was $588,506 to the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas to reimburse actual costs incurred from July 2023 through June 2024 for that work in Clark County. Other large awards show the same pattern at a county level, including $129,994 to Champions for CASA in Las Vegas and $116,463 to Washoe CASA Foundation in Reno for the same general purpose. The foundation’s recent grants are tied to court-based and local CASA organizations that help recruit, screen, train, and support volunteers serving children in foster care. That makes the funder’s role highly program-specific: it is not making a broad mix of charitable gifts, but funding a coordinated CASA infrastructure across Nevada. The grant list also shows repeated support for county programs in Carson City, Churchill, Lyon, Douglas, and Humboldt, indicating a statewide network of local advocacy efforts rather than a single-site model.
The clearest theme in the grant record is volunteer recruitment and community awareness for CASA. In 2025, Nevada Casa Association Inc gave $588,506 to the Eighth Judicial District Court in Las Vegas to reimburse actual costs for expanding awareness and supporting recruitment in Clark County. It made the same kind of award to Washoe CASA Foundation in Reno, giving $116,463 for awareness and recruitment in Washoe County. Local program support also appears in smaller county awards: $41,920 to Carson City CASA Inc and $41,589 to CASA of Churchill County, both for the same general purpose. Court advocacy for children is present through the broader CASA model described in the organization’s profile, where volunteers are trained and supported to advocate for abused and neglected children in foster care.
Recent grants cluster in a relatively narrow size band, with a typical award of $28,241 at the 25th percentile, $41,754 at the median, and $107,630 at the 75th percentile. The distribution is shaped by reimbursement-style awards tied to actual costs, often for a July-to-June program year. Recurrence is visible in the recipient list: the Eighth Judicial District Court appears in both 2025 and 2023, and Lyon County CASA received grants in both 2025 and 2023. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments, pointing to an institutional grantmaking model centered on operating and program support.

Yes. The Eighth Judicial District Court appears in both 2025 and 2023, and Lyon County CASA received grants in both years as well. That pattern suggests repeat support for local CASA infrastructure rather than one-time-only funding.
