Join us in building the future: a message from our CEO

Dear Friends and Supporters,

As we begin 2026, we want to start with one simple truth: children do not find their advocates on their own – people like you make that possible. Your generosity, commitment, and belief in the training and dedication of CASA/GAL volunteers have made a real and lasting difference for children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and for the trust you place in this work.

For children in foster care, consistency matters. A stable advocate, reliable training, and uninterrupted support can change the course of a child’s life. Because of you, that consistency is possible. Your steady support allows the National CASA/GAL Association to strengthen advocacy nationwide, respond when programs need us most, and ensure volunteers are prepared to be a voice for children, repeatedly.

Every time a child is assigned a CASA/GAL volunteer it reflects the impact of your support. Every volunteer who is trained, supported, and retained reflects your commitment to quality advocacy. Your support helps ensure children are seen, heard, and represented during some of the most difficult moments of their lives, and we do not take that responsibility and your trust lightly.

Your support makes our work possible and strengthens advocacy across the country. Everything we do is rooted in partnership, accountability, and impact, and we are sincerely thankful to have you alongside us. If you are able, I hope you will consider becoming a monthly CASA/GAL supporter, helping provide the dependable support that children and volunteers rely on throughout the year.

Thank you for your generosity, your compassion, and your unwavering belief in the power of advocacy. Because of you, children do not have to face the court system alone.

With gratitude,
Tara Lisa Perry
Chief Executive Officer
National CASA/GAL Association
