Other Ways to Give

CASA of Santa Cruz County offers many unique giving opportunities to ensure every eligible child or youth involved in the foster care and/or juvenile court system is matched with a caring volunteer Advocate.

  • Designate CASA of Santa Cruz as the beneficiary for a birthday, tribute, or memorial. Its easy with FaceBook, GoFundMe, or an in-person event.

  • Contact your employer to see if they participate in a Workplace Giving Program. CASA receives matched donations from many companies such as Google, Apple, PG&E, Netflix, and Macy's so be sure to ask!

  • Gifts of appreciated securities offer important tax advantages. Donate stock to CASA via the Community Foundation of Santa Cruz County.

  • Working or not, you can donate your car, truck or boat.

  • The CASA Children’s Fund is used by our volunteer Advocates to purchase special items to enrich, or just add normalcy to a CASA child's life.

  • An IRA Charitable Rollover allows individuals age 70 ½ or older to support CASA and lower taxes from withdrawals by making a gift directly from their IRA – up to $111,000 per person in 2026. Learn more.

  • We have several events throughout the year which help raise funds for CASA while enjoying each others company.

  • Unfortunately we cannot accept donations of furniture. However we’re happy to recommend the Habit for Humanity ReStore that can.

  • As we have limited storage space, please consider donating items to Hope's Closet which can allocate items to where they are needed most in our community, including the children we serve.

  • Caroline's Non Profit Thrift Shop in Aptos donates 100% of sales to local charities serving children, including CASA. Please support this amazing community organization!

  • Support our Transition-Age-Youth who are attending college or trade school by setting up a scholarship fund. The fund can be named in honor of a loved one or as you choose and will be recognized prominently. We ask for $1,000 per year over minimum 5 year commitment. We can set up a fundraising site to gather donations if you so choose.

  • A Legacy Gift is a lasting investment in CASA of Santa Cruz County to ensure that every eligible child involved in the Santa Cruz foster care and/or juvenile court system is matched with a caring volunteer advocate.
