• VOICES FOR CHILDREN (VFC) RECRUITS, TRAINS, AND MANAGES OVER 900 VOLUNTEERS ANNUALLY TO SERVE AS COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES (CASAS) AND IS THE ONLY NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION DESIGNATED BY THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE SUPERIOR COURTS OF SAN DIEGO AND RIVERSIDE COUNTIES TO PROVIDE THESE CASA SERVICES. VFC WAS FOUNDED IN 1980 IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY, AND SINCE 2015, HAS ALSO OPERATED THE CASA PROGRAM FOR RIVERSIDE COUNTY. CASA VOLUNTEERS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM, BUILDING TRUSTING RELATIONSHIPS WITH CHILDREN AND INTERFACING WITH THE PROFESSIONALS IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND PROTECT THE BEST INTERESTS OF CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED ABUSE,NEGLECT, OR ABANDONMENT. CURRENTLY ALL OF THE NEARLY 2,500 CHILDREN IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY FOSTER CARE RECEIVE ASSESSMENT SERVICES AND 1,734 CHILDREN IN URGENT NEED OF ADVOCACY WERE SERVED BY A CASA OR CASE LIAISON. IN ADDITION, 521 CHILDREN IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY ARE BEING SERVED BY CASAS. CASAS WORK CLOSELY WITH VFC STAFF TO PREPARE REPORTS FOR EACH JUVENILE COURT HEARING, AND DEVELOP APPROPRIATE ADVOCACY PLANS FOR THE CHILDREN. THIS INFORMATION HELPS SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES MAKE THE MOST INFORMED DECISIONS TO HELP EACH CHILD BE SAFE, HEALTHY, AND SUCCESSFUL. IN ADDITION, THE CASE FILES OF ALL CHILDREN IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY FOSTER CARE ARE REVIEWED ANNUALLY, AND THOUSANDS OF REPORTS ARE WRITTEN AND FILED THAT EVALUATE, UPDATE, AND PRIORITIZE CHILDREN'S CASES, WITH THE ULTIMATE GOAL OF MATCHING THEM WITH TRAINED CASA VOLUNTEERS. IN FEBRUARY 2023, VFC BECAME THE DESIGNATED CASA PROGRAM FOR THE PECHANGA TRIBAL COURT.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2023

As listed in Part VII of the 2023 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
