Horizon Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky has established an endowment fund supporting CASA of the Northern Bluegrass Region and its mission to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
The fund will provide long-term support for CASA’s work recruiting, training, and supporting dedicated volunteers who advocate for children’s best interests throughout the family court system. By creating a lasting source of funding, the endowment will help sustain CASA’s mission and strengthen its ability to expand its reach to more children in need of a consistent, caring advocate.
CASA of the Northern Bluegrass Region serves children across nine counties: Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Kenton, Owen, and Pendleton. CASA volunteers build relationships with the children they serve, communicate with the individuals involved in their lives, and help ensure each child’s needs and best interests are heard throughout their case. In 2025, CASA served 260 children with the support of 90 active volunteers, who contributed 4,210 hours of direct service, a 28% increase over the previous year.
“Every child deserves someone who shows up, listens, and speaks up for their best interests. This endowment is an investment in making sure CASA can continue to be that consistent presence for children in our community for years to come. We are grateful for this generous gift and the lasting support it creates for our mission,” said Nicky Jeffries, executive director of CASA of the Northern Bluegrass Region.
“Endowments are a powerful way to ensure the organizations serving our communities have the resources they need to make a lasting difference. We are proud to partner with CASA of the Northern Bluegrass Region to help sustain its vital advocacy for children and support a future where more children have someone standing up for their best interests,” said Nancy Grayson, president and CEO of Horizon Community Foundation of Northern Kentucky.
Through its endowment program, Horizon Community Foundation helps donors establish lasting charitable resources that support the causes and organizations strengthening Northern Kentucky.
These funds provide a foundation for long-term impact, helping local nonprofits sustain their missions and serve the community for generations to come.
