A Home for Hope
A Permanent Home for Advocacy. A Brighter Future for Children.
For nearly 40 years, CASA Kane County has stood beside children in foster care — advocating for their safety, stability, and permanency. Now, we are taking a bold step to secure our own permanent home so we can continue serving children for generations to come.
Why We Need a Home for Hope
CASA Kane County currently operates out of the Kane County Courthouse and in the near future, our current space will no longer be available. We see this as an opportunity to strategically develop a new home where advocates prepare for life-changing work, volunteers receive essential support and training, and our team ensures continuity of care—helping children feel seen, heard and valued.
With Your Support, We Will:
Secure
a permanent, stable home that ensures every child has consistent advocacy and support.
Create
a more welcoming, functional space for staff, volunteers, training, and community collaboration.
Expand
programming that strengthens families and creates more opportunities for children to thrive.
Establish
a Building Maintenance Fund to protect this vital asset for generations.
Strategic
Objectives
1. Establish a Permanent Home - Strengthen our Core Child Advocacy Program
Elevate the quality and reach of our advocacy, legal support, and educational programs-so every child has the resources, guidance, and dedicated volunteers they need to thrive, while increasing community awareness and support for our mission.
2. Enhance Programming - Build a Comprehensive Community of Care
Expand prevention, early-intervention, and wraparound services-offering guidance, resources, and support to stabilize families, provide support, and expand resources through community awareness, educational events, and mission-driven conferences, empowering more individuals to become informed advocates for children.
3. Build Sustainability- Ensure Long-Term Organizational Stability
Secure a strong future for CASA by diversifying revenue, growing legacy giving, and building financial resilience-so we can continue serving children and families in Kane County for generations to come.
Investment in the Future
Home for Hope represents a one-time capital investment that will secure CASA Kane County’s future. Once established, ongoing building and operational costs will be sustained through regular fundraising efforts. We are committed to transparency, fiscal responsibility, and long-term stewardship of this investment.
