Honor Roll: Friends of CASA of Southern Connecticut

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 $170,000 in grants for 2019 and 2020, plus a $60-thousand mentoring grant for 2020-2022 and a $75,000 grant for 2021.  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.
