Court Appointed Special Advocate of Central Oregon Charity Profile
CASA of Central Oregon was established in 2005 with a merger of the Deschutes County and the Crooked River CASA Programs which had existed in Central Oregon since 1992. We service the counties of Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook and our offices are located in Bend, Madras, and Prineville respectively. CASA of Central Oregon is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization and our mission is based on the belief that a child has the right to a safe and permanent home. Our goal is to provide a volunteer advocate for every abused and neglected child in Central Oregon.

Court Appointed Special Advocate of Central Oregon Donation Information
Your donation to CASA of Central Oregon directly supports volunteer recruitment and training costs. Each year, approximately 400 children are appointed a CASA in our tri-county area. Our volunteer's advocacy serves hundreds of children who have suffered abuse, neglect, or abandonment. However, there are approximately 80 children still waiting for a CASA volunteer and every penny donated helps us recruit, train and support additional volunteers to serve these neglected children.
