Statement Regarding Termination of National CASA/GAL’s Federal Grant Awards

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of New Hampshire is aware of the news that the U.S. Department of Justice has terminated National CASA/GAL’s federal grant awards.

CASA of New Hampshire’s funding, operations and ability to serve children are in no way affected by this termination. Although CASA of NH is a member organization of the National CASA/GAL Association and adheres to its standards, CASA of NH is a fully autonomous, independent 501(c)(3).

CASA of NH does not receive funding from National CASA.

Since our inception, CASA of NH has worked diligently to maintain a diverse funding base, which has contributed to its long-term success. CASA of NH receives funding from a variety of sources, including federal, state and local governments, private foundation grants, donations and fundraising.

We are still learning more about what this means for National CASA, but CASA of NH will continue to provide the same high level of advocacy to New Hampshire children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
