Mission
CASA of Lea County strives to make Lea County, New Mexico a safer environment for our communities' abused and neglected children through highly trained volunteer advocacy and other child centered programs.
Activities or mission (Part I)
CASA OF LEA COUNTY STRIVES TO MAKE LEA COUNTY, NEW MEXICO A SAFER ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR COMMUNITIES' AT-RISK CHILDREN THROUGH TRAINED VOLUNTEER ADVOCACY AND OTHER CHILD AND FAMILY-CENTERED PROGRAMS.
-
The Court Appointed Special Advocate program CASA recruits and trains community volunteers to provide unbiased advocacy for foster children from birth to 18 years of age. Each of the children served are victims of abuse and/or neglect to the degree that the State of New Mexico is compelled to protect them by placing them in foster care. Since 2005 CASA volunteers and staff have stood up and provided a powerful voice for children in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. Children are assigned to trained volunteer advocates. For any child in the legal system waiting for their own CASA volunteer, CASA program staff provides courtroom advocacy in their best interest. The Children's Court Judge listens to and carefully considers CASA-driven recommendations and observations at each hearing called for every child in the foster care system in Lea County.
Expenses $189,945

Family Time Visitation Program FTVP is a community provider of supervised visitation and safe custody exchange services to any family who is referred via the State of New Mexico's Children, Youth, and Families Department CYFD, court order, or self-referral. Via a contract with the New Mexico Administrative Offices of the Courts, FTVP provides services to families affected by domestic violence and high-conflict domestic matters on a sliding fee scale. CYFD-referred children are victims of abuse and/or neglect. FTVP provides safe contact between offending parents, who are working on their treatment plan, and their children.
Expenses $169,482 · Revenue $37,196

CASA of Lea County's Canine Companion Program was established in December 2010. Canine, Phillip, provides emotional support and unconditional love to children in the legal system due to abuse and neglect, to child victims or witnesses of violent crimes, and to juvenile offenders. The CASA Canine Companion has many duties to fulfill in the course of a workday. In Children's Court, Phillip lends emotional support to victims of child abuse and neglect. In the same setting, he intuitively gives comfort and support to nervous CASA advocates as they prepare to stand up and speak to the Judge about what is in the best interest of the child. At CASA's Family Time Visitation Center, Phillip is a calming presence as children visit with their families, some of whom are affected by domestic violence and custody issues. Additionally, Phillip works in the Lea County Juvenile Detention Center where he brings calm and focus to child inmates as they anxiously await sentencing or transport to other detention facilities or treatment centers. During a time in their lives filled with confusion and uncertainty about their future, Phillip is a caring and welcome friend who allows them to let down their emotional guard and express their feelings.

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.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
