Make a Difference on #GivingTuesday: Support Foster Children in Your Community

December 3rd is #GivingTuesday, when people come together to support causes close to their hearts. Nebraska CASA invites you to make a meaningful impact by donating to help abused and neglected foster children throughout Nebraska.

Your contribution supports our network of court-appointed special advocate (CASA) volunteers who advocate for children in foster care. When you donate, you're directly investing in the well-being of vulnerable children—and your gift stays in Nebraska, benefitting children in our local communities.

 

What Does Nebraska CASA Do?

Nebraska CASA recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who advocate for children in the foster care system. CASA volunteers work closely with the court system, foster parents, social workers, and teachers to ensure that each child's best interests are represented.

CASA volunteers are often the most consistent presence in a child's life during a time of uncertainty and change, providing support, stability, and a voice for their needs and future.

 

Hope Needs a Helping Hand

Your donation matters to Nebraska CASA on #GivingTuesday and throughout the year by enabling us to continue essential work. Every dollar you contribute goes toward:

  • Recruiting CASA Volunteers: Increasing the number of advocates who can serve more children. Many communities across Nebraska have a shortage of volunteers, leaving some children without a CASA voice in court.
  • Comprehensive Training: Equipping volunteers with the knowledge and tools they need to advocate effectively. Our training covers trauma-informed care, legal guidance, and skills for building positive relationships with children and families.
  • Ongoing Support and Resources: Volunteers need support as they navigate complex cases. Donations fund resources, mentorship, and continued education for advocates, empowering them to make the greatest impact.

     

The Impact of CASA Volunteers

Studies show that children with CASA advocates are more likely to find safe, permanent homes. They are less likely to re-enter foster care, spend less time in the system, and perform better in school. They are also less likely to turn to drugs or homelessness when aging out of foster care. 

A CASA volunteer's dedication can be the difference between a child feeling lost and hopeless or having hope for the future.

Each CASA volunteer works with one or two children at a time, giving them individualized attention and care. This personalized support is possible because of donors who make CASA's work sustainable and effective.

 

Join Us This #GivingTuesday, December 3rd

Regardless of the amount, your gift makes a difference. On #GivingTuesday, your generosity helps Nebraska CASA recruit and train more CASA volunteers so we can reach every foster child who needs an advocate.

Please consider a donation to Nebraska CASA. Your support stays in Nebraska, directly benefitting the foster children in your community. Together, we can ensure every child has a voice, stability, and a caring advocate during one of the most challenging times in their life.
