About CASA MINNESOTA

CASA Minnesota (CASA MN) is a state nonprofit that supports, trains, and promotes court‑appointed volunteer Guardians ad Litem (CASA/GAL volunteers) who advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in Minnesota’s child protection courts. The organization serves as the state liaison to the National CASA Association and works to recruit, retain, and provide continuing education and resources for volunteer advocates. CASA MN operates a statewide grant program (CASA Cares) that provides enrichment grants for children in foster and kinship care to access camps, lessons, bicycles and other experiences not covered by public funds. The organization emphasizes culturally responsive matches between volunteers and children and engages in public awareness and policy advocacy to strengthen volunteer advocacy statewide. The EIN provided (41-1598698) was verified against publicly available nonprofit filing databases and the organization’s own web presence. CASA MN has operated since the early 1990s and continues to publish annual updates and program information (including a 2024 annual report and recent site posts describing ongoing grant activity).
