Give
Your donation makes a lifelong difference in a child’s life.
Donors like you give children in our community who've been abused or neglected a powerful voice in court, at school and everywhere they need an adult they can rely on. Your gift helps CASA recruit, train and support more than 550 active volunteers and provides professional staff and the resources they need to advocate for more than 1,500 children each year. For every dollar you give, 75% goes directly to advocating for children — and 25% provides effective professional leadership that means your gift is used efficiently.
There are many ways you can make a difference:
Give online or mail a check
You can give using your credit or debit card here. Or, if you prefer, you can mail your check to:
CASA of Travis County
7701 N Lamar Blvd, Ste 301
Austin, TX 78752
You will receive a tax-deductible receipt along with your thank you letter for your donation.
Give in honor or memory of someone special
Consider celebrating the birthdays and anniversaries of your loved ones or honor the memory of a friend or loved one with a gift to CASA of Travis County. To make a gift, click donate and choose “Dedication.” When you provide an acknowledgment address, we will send an email or card directly to them with your personal message or remembrance. We won’t share the amount of your gift.
Looking for the perfect Mother's Day gift?
Make a donation to CASA in honor of Mom and we'll send her a special Mother's Day card personalized with a note from you.
Give monthly
It's easy to set up a recurring gift to save time and effort. You may give monthly, quarterly or annually by setting up an automatic donation. To start your recurring gift, click donate and choose “I want to make a recurring donation.” Or call 512.539.2670 to speak to someone who will set up your recurring gift. If you give $125 or more each month, you’ll automatically become a member of the Powerful Voice Society.
Join the Powerful Voice Society
Your pledge of $1,500 or more annually grants you membership in the Powerful Voice Society, recognizing members’ commitment to being a powerful voice for abused and neglected children in our community.
Join Community for CASA
Our young professionals group offers members opportunities to meet others committed to being a powerful voice for abused and neglected children in our community.
Match your gift
Many companies offer matching gift programs to their employees. Check with your employer to find out if your company matches employees’ gifts to charitable nonprofit organizations; you may be able to double or even triple your donation to CASA.
Give your car to CASA
You can turn your unwanted car, truck, or boat into a gift to CASA of Travis County. Our vehicle donation program is a great way to help vulnerable children and turn a clunker into a tax deduction. Visit Charitable Auto Resources (CARS) or call toll-free 877.537.5277 to learn more. If you’re ready to donate, fill out their online donation form and a CARS representative will guide you through the next step in the process.
Bequests and other special gifts
You can create a legacy of hope for vulnerable children through a bequest or other special gift to CASA. You don’t need to be wealthy to make a lasting impact. Talk with your financial or estate planning professional to find out how to plan a gift to benefit you and your family while creating a lasting legacy for children in need.

Throw a Diaper & Baby Clothes “Shower”
CASA is a partner in the Travis County court system’s innovative “Parenting in Recovery” program which gives new mothers addicted to drugs the opportunity to seek recovery and care for their babies. When mothers meet weekly court-ordered goals, they may be rewarded with baby items.
You can throw a “Shower” to gather new baby items like:
- Diapers – all sizes of disposable diapers
- Baby clothes
- Baby toys and books
Buy groceries and support CASA
Shop at Randall’s using your Remarkable Card and a percentage of your purchases will help abused children. Next time you’re at Randall’s fill out a quick application and choose CASA of Travis County (# 263, vendor #220263). Your groceries add up to hundreds of dollars for CASA!
Ask your friends to give to CASA
Want to rally your friends and family to support CASA? Use one of many great online fundraising tools like Razoo or First Giving to start your own fundraising page for CASA. If you need any help getting started or are looking for ideas to personalize your page, please contact Marketing & Communications Manager, Callie Langford, at 512.539.2644 or via email.
Note: CASA of Travis County’s legal name is registered as Court Appointed Special Advocates of Travis County, so you may need to search using that name to find us on some fundraising sites.
