California’s budget process is entering its final stages, and foster youth need advocates speaking up now.

Governor Newsom’s revised budget proposal did not include funding for CASA programs. However, the conversation is not over. The Assembly’s budget framework specifically referenced CASA, and legislators in both the Assembly and Senate are continuing to push for funding. A final budget vote is expected around June 15.

Now is the time for community members to get involved.

Please take a few minutes to call your local Assembly and Senate district offices. Thank them for supporting children and youth in foster care, and encourage them to include $20 million for CASA programs in this year’s California state budget.

As budget negotiations continue, lawmakers are hearing from many different groups and interests. Hearing directly from constituents can help reinforce the importance of CASA’s work and the need to ensure foster youth continue to have access to trained advocates.

📞 Take action today.

Every call helps amplify the voices of foster youth and the volunteers who stand beside them.

As Foster Care Awareness Month comes to a close, these statistics highlight the ongoing need for support and advocacy for children in foster care.

Nearly 400,000 youth are in foster care nationwide. Around 117,000 are waiting to be adopted. Up to 65% of siblings in foster care are separated due to placement limitations, and more than 15,000 young people age out of care each year without permanent families.

At CASA El Dorado, we are serving a portion of these children and families every day. While we recognize the lives being impacted, we know there is still much work to do.

We are incredibly grateful for our community of supporters and for the 76+ CASA volunteers who show up as caring, consistent adults for children navigating uncertainty. Your commitment creates stability, hope, and belonging when it is needed most.

Together, we are changing stories but until every child has a safe, permanent, and loving home, our work continues.

Thank you for standing with us. 🫶🏻

Honored to be in the room as a 2026 grantee at this inspiring celebration hosted by Tahoe Women’s Community Fund last night.💙

Congratulations to TWCF on awarding $142,500 in grants to 16 nonprofit organizations for 2026 while also recognizing the incredible impact of the 2025 grantees and the meaningful work being done across our community. Hearing the stories and accomplishments from last year’s recipients was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when people come together to invest in local change.

We were proud to witness a major milestone of TWCF, which has now surpassed $11 million invested back into the Tahoe community. 🎉

Thank you to Tahoe Women’s Community Fund, its dedicated Cabinet, members, sponsors, and supporters for continuing to strengthen our region through philanthropy, connection, and community spirit. CASA El Dorado is deeply grateful to be part of this work.
