An Update on Our Funding
We recently received notice that our VOCA (Victims of Crime Act) proposal was funded at $179,000. While this is $110,000 less than what we’ve received in previous years, we are deeply grateful to have been awarded funding.
We’re also relieved to share that National CASA’s federal funding was reinstated in August, and both of our national grants were renewed. This helps close an additional $50,000 of our funding gap. Although a significant shortfall remains, these awards allow us to continue building on the incredible advocacy our volunteers and staff provide every day.
Unfortunately, we’ve seen the devastating impact of these funding cuts statewide, with some domestic violence shelters and other essential victim service organizations forced to close their doors. If you feel moved to help, please consider contacting your state and federal representatives to share how vital these services are to our communities.
