EXISTS TO ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED AND NEGLECTED AND ARE IN THE PROTECTIVE CUSTODY OF THE COURT. THE ORGANIZATION RECRUITS, TRAINS, AND SUPERVISES VOLUNTEER COURT-APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES (CASA'S) WHO BECOME PASSIONATE PROTECTORS OF THEIR CASA KIDS. THE LEGISLATURE AND THE COURTS GRANT CASA'S UNUSUAL AUTHORITY SO THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO ENSURE THAT A CHILD IS NOT IGNORED AND THAT THE JUDGE IS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AND ACT ON A CHILD'S CRITICAL NEEDS. CASA ADVOCATES HELP GET CHILDREN INTO PERMANENT HOMES SAFELY AND QUICKLY TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF TIME THEY ARE EXPOSED TO THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. THIS BENEFITS ALL OF US. WITH A CASA TO GUIDE THEM, CHILDREN MOVE THROUGH THE SYSTEM MORE QUICKLY. AND QUICKER MEANS SAFER; A SHORTER STAY IN THE COURT SYSTEM MEANS FEWER RETRAUMATIZING MOVES AND A FASTER PATH TO A PERMANENT, SAFE AND STABLE FAMILY. CHILDREN SERVED BY A CASA VOLUNTEER HAVE MORE OF WHAT KIDS NEED, CARING ADULTS ATTENDING TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND WELL-BEING, AND THAT REAPS BENEFITS THAT LAST A LIFETIME. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 11B THE FORM 990 IS PREPARED BY AN INDEPENDENT CPA FIRM AND REVIEWED BY MANAGEMENT AND THE FINANCE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD. DRAFT COPIES ARE THEN SENT TO THE BOARD IN ADVANCE OF FILING ALONG WITH THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. THE BOARD HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS DURING THE PRESENTATION OF THE AUDITED FINANCIALS BY THE ORGANIZATION'S AUDIT FIRM. ONCE THE PRESENTATION IS COMPLETE AND ANY QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED THE 990 IS FINALIZED AND FILED. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 12C CONFLICT OF INTEREST FORMS ARE DISTRIBUTED AND SIGNED ONCE A YEAR AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BOARD OR WHEN ANY NEW MEMBERS JOIN THE BOARD. CONFLICTS, SHOULD THEY ARISE, ARE REVIEWED WITH THE BOARD MEMBER. BOARD MEMBERS WOULD RECUSE THEMSELVES FROM ANY VOTES THAT RELATED TO THE SPECIFIC AREA OF CONFLICT. FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 COMPENSATION FOR THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR (E.D.) IS OUTLINED BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD AFTER REVIEW OF CURRENT YEAR ACCOMPLISHMENTS AGAINST OBJECTIVES AND SALARY COMPARABLES BOTH BY SIZE AND TYPE OF ORGANIZATION AS PROVIDED BY THE GUIDESTAR SALARY SURVEY. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE COLLABORATES ON CREATING THE FULL YEAR OBJECTIVES AND AUTHORIZES ANY SALARY INCREASE OR BONUS. KEY EMPLOYEES PARTICIPATE IN AN ANNUAL REVIEW OF THEIR PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO OBJECTIVES. THE E.D. DETERMINES THEIR NEW YEAR COMPENSATION, MERIT OR BONUS PAY BASED ON PERFORMANCE, WHERE THEY FALL IN THE SALARY BAND, AND HOW THEY COMPARE AGAINST LIKE SALARIES (RESEARCHED EVERY FEW YEARS). FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION C, LINE 19 THE ORGANIZATION MAKES ITS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY, AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC UPON REQUEST. THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENT, FORM 990, AND 5 YEAR HISTORY OF PERFORMANCE ARE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON THE ORGANIZATION'S WEBSITE. FORM 990 IS AVAILABLE THROUGH GUIDESTAR AS WELL.
