What Casa for the Highland Lakes Area does
Mission
Providing independent court-appointed volunteer advocates for children who are involved in the courts systems because of abuse and/or neglect.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The organization recruits, trains, and supervises community volunteers to function as court-appointed special advocates to provide services to child abuse victims who have been removed from their homes because of abuse and/or neglect. The organization assigns casework supervisors to supervise the volunteer child advocates; assist the volunteers in meetings with the children or anyone associated with the case; assist in examination of court files, medical, school, and psychological reports; track progress of the cases; maintain detailed statistical case data concerning the victim's age, sex, ethnic group, county of origin, total number of children served, and number of children's cases that are closed. The organization serves blanco, burnet, lampasas, san saba, and llano counties with a total population of approximately 83,500. The number of volunteer hours recorded during the year ended august 31, 2023 by the organization approximated 5,560.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $561k to $655k (+17%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 50% · 2018 58% · 2019 75% · 2020 65% · 2021 61% · 2022 64% · 2023 68% · 2024 56%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
84% of CASA FOR THE HIGHLAND LAKES AREA’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (99% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 5 funders to 7 funders, grant income rose $290k → $474k.
5 of 12 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 4% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CASA FOR THE HIGHLAND LAKES AREA’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CASA FOR THE HIGHLAND LAKES AREA leans on a few funders — its largest provides 87% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
92% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CASA FOR THE HIGHLAND LAKES AREA.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 79% · 2018 84% · 2019 93% · 2020 92% · 2021 90% · 2022 89% · 2023 89% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
56% of CASA FOR THE HIGHLAND LAKES AREA's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 67% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
100% of CASA FOR THE HIGHLAND LAKES AREA's grant income comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $125k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
