Community for CASA

About Us

Community for CASA is a group of young professionals committed to being a powerful voice for children in our community who have been abused or neglected. Through quarterly happy hours, Community for CASA creates a fun and social environment to raise funds for and promote awareness of CASA of Travis County.

Community for CASA is the brain-child of seven young professionals who realized their busy schedules meant they couldn’t volunteer as advocates—but they could help in other ways. Together, they recruited 70 friends to become Founding Members, raising more than $5,000 in 2010, their first year!

It’s easy to join!

  • Individual annual member - $35/year

  • Corporate annual member - $300/year

  • Lifetime corporate member - $1,000 (one-time fee with no annual dues)

Your Community for CASA benefits include:

  • Invitations to quarterly happy hours at some of Austin’s most unique bars

  • Chances to win free door prizes and gifts

  • Networking and leadership opportunities

  • Opportunity to participate in annual Holiday Gift Card drive for foster children

All Community for CASA funds, including membership dues and event proceeds, go to the CASA of Travis County “direct service fund” which provides children with clothing, school supplies, athletic equipment, summer camp and other needs to help them thrive.

  • To pay by credit card, click on our donation page, type in the appropriate denomination for your membership, and select “Community for CASA Membership” under Program Designation. To renew your membership automatically, select the yearly recurring gift option.
