Ways to Donate
Online Donation
Your gift makes a difference in the life of a child! Every donation gives an abused or neglected child a powerful voice in court, at school and in the community.
CASA of Sonoma County is committed to recruit, train and supervise volunteer advocates — everyday citizens who judges appoint to advocate for the safety and well-being of children who have been removed from their homes through no fault of their own due to abuse and neglect. If you would like to support the work of CASAs, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution online.
Your donation goes directly to Court Appointed Special Advocates of Sonoma County, a registered 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. Payments are processed and secured through PayPal. You will be sent an email receipt for your donation that can be used as a tax receipt at the end of the year. Thank you for giving kids hope.

Planned Giving
Leave a Legacy
You can create a legacy of hope for vulnerable children by making a planned gift to our Court Appointed Special Advocates of Sonoma County, Inc. A planned gift, such as a bequest in your will or trust, life insurance designations or gifts of appreciated property, ensures your support for the children we serve well into the future.
There are many ways to make a legacy gift to our CASA Program – gifts by will, of cash, securities, personal property, real estate, charitable trusts. These gifts can make an impact today or after your lifetime. CASA of Sonoma County will be honored to work with you and your advisors to explore different options for planned gifts. Please let us know if you have named our program in your estate.
Preferred Bequest Language
One of the most common ways to make a legacy gift is a bequest through your will. Adding a bequest to your will or living trust can be as simple as adding a single sentence. If you are considering making a gift by bequest, please discuss potential impacts with your attorney and advisors. Below is sample language that can be used for this purpose.
“I give the sum of $____ or ____% to the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Sonoma County, Inc at 365 CASA Manana Rd. Bldg. K, Room L Santa Rosa, CA 95409 (tax ID: 68-0404770) to be used for the furtherance of its charitable purposes in the discretion and at the direction of its board of trustees for its unrestricted use and purpose.”

If you have any questions or would like to discuss making a legacy gift to support vulnerable children and youth, please contact our Executive Director Heloisa Heinen at 707-565-6375 or by email.
