Testimonials

"While shopping for material items meant a lot to this family—all wanted the 14-year-old to look and feel beautiful as she crossed the stage—the entire process had relationship building moments, positive memory collecting experiences, and encouragement for a bright and better future ahead."
-DCS Specialist
“Thank you for the propane. My boys are enjoying a nice, long hot bath.”
-Mother of two boys
"Thank you from a twelve year old girl! She was overflowing with gratitude all day long. She’s got her outfit picked out for the first day of school, with school supplies organized in her backpack."
-DCS Specialist
"Within the past four months I’ve utilized grants from CCFK for in-home childcare, gas cards, wipes & diapers, and a hotel stay. How grateful these families have been to receive these gifts of charity from this non-profit. What a blessing."
— CASA Volunteer
"Teenagers often go silent about their needs. Mine was residing in and out of shelters for months, until placed in a stable home. Coconino CASA for Kids helped enormously by helping with clothing and other essential items. Thank you!"
— CASA Volunteer
"As a first-time foster family, we did not know the extra support that we would need. Coconino Casa for Kids stepped in and supported us through grants with registration fees, diapers, potty training toilets, and so much more. With their help, we were able to get the things needed to help our placement be successful!"
— Foster Placement
"I received an e-card and was able to get school supplies, clothes, diapers, and a booster seat for the girls. I appreciate your help so much!"

NEWS FLASH!

CCFK has assisted Blavin-Bettin scholars at Northern Arizona with basic needs such as housing support during the 2024-2025 school year and will continue this assistance for the 2025-2026 school year. In addition, CCFK has decided to open the grant process to dependent children from Gila County for two years. This is in keeping with other CASA AZ support councils that have adopted or joined with a neighboring, smaller county to assist the children in that county with a dependency especially if there is no support council in the neighboring county. Gila County does not have a support council and has approximately one hundred children with a dependency.

3. A child aged 0-21 that DCS has identified as at risk and needing support to prevent a dependency; and,

4. A young adult who aged out of the DCS system but is continuing to receive support from DCS.

5. CCFK will also help families living in Coconino County with the safety equipment needed to become a licensed foster care home.

Gila County Grant Request

Coconino CASA for Kids is here to help the children and youth of Gila County with basic needs and wants. The child’s dependency must originate in Gila County but the child can be placed anywhere, including group homes and treatment facilities. Some examples of basic needs and wants are: clothing, food, school supplies, gas, baby supplies, sports fees and equipment, musical instrument rentals, outings for siblings, summer camp, and furniture. $75 per child per month can be requested for diapers and is automatically approved. DCS caseworkers and CASAs can submit a request. Most requests will be reviewed by a committee and a decision will be communicated within 48 hours. Requests will be filled on Mondays and Thursdays. Most requests are filled with a physical or electronic gift card, not with the actual item.
