We achieve this goal by strengthening California's network of local CASA programs and advocating for child welfare policy and practice. false false 594882 California CASA Association supports the development, growth and continuation ofprograms that recruit and train volunteers to advocate for abused and neglectedchildren throughout California. CASA volunteers establish stable supportive relationships with children in the foster care system, getting to know their unique history and making informed recommendations to the courts. California CASA Association improves the scope, quality and impact of the CASA network by: a) Strengthening local CASA programs with technical assistance, quality training, and resources, b) working in partnership with California Judicial Council staffto ensure that local CASA programs are in compliance with State and NationalStandards, c) communicating the CASA perspective and advocating for child welfare policy, and d) identifying and pursuing valuable strategic alliances that leverage and/or expand our children's resources statewide. When California CASA Association was founded, only a handful of CASA programs existed. Today, with its support and leadership, nearly every county in the state is served by a CASA program. This translates to a network of 44 CASA programs and 8,400 volunteer advocates serving over 13,000 foster children in 51 counties throughout the state. 594882 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 7 0 true 9 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X X CA CASA 5106638440 1203 Preservation Park Way Suite 10 Oakland CA 94612 James Hatter Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Shelley Brown Vice-Chair 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Adam Wallace CPA Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jan-Yu Weng Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Marie Kennedy Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tracy Fauver Board Member 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nathan Lee Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elisa Mendel Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Don Kleinfelder Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Wende Nichols-Julien Board Member 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Katy Carlsen Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Keating Rhoads Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kevin Gardner Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kim Moore Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Michael J Hughes Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Patricia Miljanich JD Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Smith PhD Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Delaney Rosendahl Board Member 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tony Papa Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sharon Lawrence CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 27500 0 0 Mim Carlson Interim CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 55665 0 0 Anne Farrell CPO 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joan Reilly CFO 40.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John L Lipp CEO 40.00 0.00 X 39247 0 0 Philip Ladew Associate Legal Director 40.00 0.00 X 47648 0 0 170060 0 true false false 0 62034 715955 986 777989 0 771 771 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 778760 771 X 0 0 0 0 170060 128275 26202 15583 0 198064 149399 30517 18148 0 45210 33347 7812 4051 29131 21974 4488 2669 0 13033 12693 340 9214 6950 1420 844 0 36005 36005 0 109304 98678 9379 1247 0 66334 50035 10221 6078 0 0 0 0 0 4784 1864 2920 0 0 0 0 Program Expenses 82790 82790 Other Expenses 12816 8877 3939 0 776745 594882 97238 84625 219103 298119 0 0 62776 80229 0 0 0 0 12076 15872 0 0 0 0 4094 0 0 298049 394220 12127 34793 164715 236205 176842 270998 X 121207 123222 121207 123222 298049 394220 2015 X false true X true false X 779277 809230 987269 930658 777989 4284423 0 0 779277 809230 987269 930658 777989 4284423 13984 4270439 598 45 33 31 771 1478 0 14911 14911 4300812 0.99290 0.98960 X X 778760 778760 778760 776745 776745 776745 Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization adopted the recognition requirements for uncertain income tax positions as required by generally accepted accounting principles, with no cumulative effect adjustment required. Income tax benefits are recognized for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, only when it is determined that the income tax position will more-likely-than-not be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Organization believes that income tax filing positions will be sustained upon examination and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material adverse effect on the Organization's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Organization has not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties for uncertain income tax positions at June 30, 2018. The Organization is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions; however, there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress.
