Support CASI – Invest in Your Community

For over 60 years, Community Action of Southern Indiana (CASI) has been a cornerstone of support for families in Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties. Every day, we work to break the cycle of poverty and create opportunity – but we can’t do it without you.

When you give to CASI, you’re helping your neighbors access safe housing, quality education, early childhood programs, and essential resources. Your generosity fuels real change, right here at home.

Ways to Give

1. Make a Cash Gift

Cash donations are the most flexible and immediate way to support our work. Whether it’s a one-time gift or a monthly contribution, your donation helps us respond to urgent needs and expand life-changing programs across Southern Indiana.

✅ Donate online securely

✅ Set up recurring gifts

✅ Make a gift in honor or memory of someone special

Every dollar makes a difference.

2. Double Your Impact: Indiana IDA Tax Credit Program

Looking for a powerful way to give and reduce your Indiana state tax liability?

CASI participates in the Individual Development Account (IDA) Tax Credit Program, which offers a 50% state tax credit for qualifying donations. That means a $1,000 gift could reduce your Indiana tax bill by $500 — while empowering low-income individuals to save toward homeownership, education, or starting a small business.

💡 This program supports long-term financial self-sufficiency and builds generational wealth.

Spots are limited each year, so act early!

To learn more or to check eligibility, contact us at pharper@casi1.org.
