4a (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 49,395,035 including grants of $ 7,753,876 ) (Revenue $   )
NATIONAL SERVICE PROGRAM: In 110 offices throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico, the DAV employs a corps of approximately 260 National Service Officers (NSO's) and 31 Transition Service Officers (TSO's) who directly and tirelessly represent veterans and their families with claims for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and other government agencies. Veterans need not be DAV members to take advantage of this outstanding assistance, which is provided free of charge. Between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2010, our NSO's and TSO's, all wartime service-connected disabled veterans, represented nearly a quarter of a million veterans and their families in their claims for VA benefits, obtaining more than $4.5 billion for them in new and retroactive benefits.DAV's highly skilled National Appeals Officers (NAO's) provide an invaluable service to appellants in the preparation of informal hearing presentations and by conducting formal hearings for Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) review. The DAV maintains the largest staff of any advocacy group.Transition Service Officers (TSO's) provide benefits counseling and assistance to service members filing initial claims for VA benefits at more than 100 military installations throughout the nation. By filing compensation claims at separation centers where service medical records and examination facilities are readily available, DAV is able to provide better, more prompt service to these future veterans. During 2010, TSO's conducted over 2,759 formal presentations to approximately 82,155 transitioning service members. During that same time, our TSO's filed over 26,598 claims for veterans' benefits.By literally putting our service offices on the road, assisting veterans where they live, DAV is increasing their accessibility to benefits. The DAV currently has 10 specially equipped Mobile Service Offices (MSO's) to visit communities across the country. During 2010, our MSO's traveled more than 114,000 miles while visiting 815 cities and towns. NSO's interviewed 20,190 veterans and other potential claimants. The NSO's also participate in other outreach efforts such as Veterans Information Seminars, Homeless Veteran Initiatives, Employment Programs and Women Veterans Outreach Programs.VOLUNTARY SERVICE PROGRAM: The DAV also operates an extensive network of programs through which volunteers provide a variety of services to disabled veterans. Since 1987, 2,368 vans have been purchased by the DAV National Organization, Chapters, Departments, and the DAV National Service Foundation Columbia Trust. These vans have all been donated to VA hospitals for use in the Transportation Network. During 2010, Transportation Network Volunteers contributed 1,883,007 hours of service, valued at $39,260,696 and drove 25,509,350 miles, providing 673,474 free rides to veterans. The value of these contributed services is reported as revenue on DAV's financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, but is not recorded as revenue on this Form 990 in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines. In addition to those hours donated under the Transportation Network during 2010, DAV volunteers contributed another 313,054 hours of service to veterans, volunteering at VA hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes through the VA Voluntary Service (VAVS) program. STATE SERVICE AND DISASTER RELIEF PROGRAMS: The DAV conducts a program under which direct grants are provided to needy disabled veterans and their families, as well as a program to fund state level services to these veterans and families. The DAV is there when disasters strike to offer aid and assistance to our members and all affected veterans. DAV National Service Officers are dispatched to the disaster area to provide monetary assistance, conduct benefit counseling, and to offer referral sources. We provided disaster relief grants in the aftermath of natural disasters and emergencies in various areas around the nation. During 2010, grants totaling $1,250 were disbursed to help disabled veterans secure temporary lodging, food, and other necessities. Since the program's inception in 1968, $8,762,831 has been disbursed.The DAV conducts a program to help fund services that state level Departments provide to disabled veterans and their families. In some cases, these Department programs extend, supplement, or dovetail services the DAV provides in these states through its nationwide programs. In other cases, Departments have created entirely new programs to meet the unique needs of veterans in their states. Grants to Departments under this program totaled $3,779,001 in 2010. This program carries the DAV's self-help concept forward in a unique way, in that it is funded exclusively with donations made by disabled veterans who are members of the DAV, not with contributions from the general public.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 5,697,336 including grants of $   ) (Revenue $   )
PUBLICATIONS & COMMUNICATIONS: A well-informed membership is essential to the DAV's strength. As a membership organization, the DAV publishes a full-color magazine to keep our members informed about important issues and our government's policies affecting the federal benefits and services they've earned. The DAV produces a variety of print advertisements, brochures, and other informational products to advise all disabled veterans and their families of the organization's free services, as well as opportunities to assist others through our volunteer programs. The DAV also maintains a comprehensive Internet website (www.dav.org), which serves as a vital informational and education resource for disabled veterans and the general public. As part of our comprehensive public outreach program, the DAV also produces and distributes television and radio public service announcements, or PSAs, increasing public awareness and understanding of the needs of disabled veterans and other handicapped people.
4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 9,016,206 including grants of $   ) (Revenue $ 5,386,896 )
MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM: The DAV provides a variety of services in its efforts to build the large, strong, and active membership base required to effectively promote a positive agenda for the well-being of America's disabled veterans and their families. In accomplishing this, the organization coordinates and extends its mission of hope into communities where veterans and their families live. A structure of 52 state Departments and more than 1,499 local Chapters nationwide supports our mission. Funds raised from the general public are not used to pay for membership services.
(Code:   ) (Expenses $ 22,763,911 including grants of $   ) (Revenue $   )
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM: The DAV's National Legislative Department is engaged in a number of efforts to improve, advance and protect interests of disabled veterans, their families, widowed spouses, and surviving children in the legislative and public policy arena. Through direct contact with legislators, congressional testimony, and ongoing, concentrated grassroots lobbying, the DAV strives to be the voice of America's wartime disabled veterans. No funds from charitable contributions are used to cover the expenses of the DAV's Legislative Program, with the exception of contributions donated explicitly to fund legislative efforts. All other legislative operations are funded from membership dues. During 2010, $1,693,509 was spent on legislative activities. PUBLIC AWARENESS OUTREACH: Too many disabled veterans remain in need of federal benefits and services they've earned but haven't used. Generally, these veterans aren't aware of their entitlements or the free help the DAV National Service Program can provide in filing for VA and other government benefits. Further, many aren't aware of the various programs the DAV offers for disabled veterans and their families. In a nontraditional approach, the Public Awareness Outreach Program asks our donors to help identify these veterans and get them into contact with the DAV. In 2010, $21,070,402 was spent on this large-scale outreach effort, an investment that's paying real dividends in the lives of disabled veterans and their families. This program supplements the outreach efforts already built into the DAV's other program services. It offers the American people an even greater opportunity to become personally involved in identifying and assisting those in need of DAV programs and services.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Procedure for Monitoring Grants in the U.S.: Part I, Line 2: Schedule I, Part I, Line 2: The procedure for monitoring the use of grants varies depending on the type of grant. For grants to DAV Departments, every department is required to submit an annual financial report to DAV for approval. Review of annual financial reports allows DAV to monitor the proper use of funds granted by DAV and to ensure good standing for continued eligibility. Expenses for the National Veterans Winter Sports Clinic and Van Program are sent directly to and are paid by DAV (directly to the billing party) when determined that the expense is an acceptable and qualifying cost of the designated program. Scholarship payments towards tuition on behalf of an eligible award recipient are paid directly to the academic institution. The remainder of the grants are made on a good faith basis to reputable organizations with a history of service to disabled veterans.

  Part I, Line 1a First Class or Charter Travel: DAV-paid airfare is typically for coach-class travel. First-class airfare may be approved considering such factors as: the degree to which the traveler is disabled and the length of the trip. In 2010,two persons listed on Schedule J, Part I, traveled first class for DAV related business. It was not considered taxable income. DAV does not pay for charter travel. Travel for Companions: DAV pays for companions of those traveling on DAV business, but on a very limited basis. Such authorization is only granted when the companion's presence either confers an actual benefit on DAV or provides needed aid and assistance for a significantly disabled DAV traveler. In the case of the DAV traveler requiring aid and assistance, DAV will bear the full expense of the companion and it is not considered taxable income. In all other situations, companion expenses are either reimbursed by the DAV traveler or included in taxable income. In 2010, DAV paid for companion travel of one person listed on Schedule J, Part I. Discretionary spending account: During their one-year, nonsuccessive term, DAV pays the National Commander an annual expense allowance prorated from the date of his election to the date of the election of his successor, in an amount approved by the Board of Directors, and reflected in the appropriate minutes. The amount is to cover lodging, meals, and other expenses incurred to serve in this capacity. It is comparable to amounts paid those in similar positions in like organizations and is reported as taxable income on Form 1099. In 2010, Roberto Barrera, DAV National Commander (January to August) received $88,441 and Wallace Tyson, DAV National Commander (September to December) received $86,559 for such payments.
  Part I, Line 7 DAV has a Leadership Incentive Program that offers an additional percentage of annual base salary to about 40 employees - primarily key executives, directors and managers. The award percentage is based on the individual participant's position and the organization's measured success meeting 7 goals - one related to achievement of standard ratios published by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance and 6 based on DAV strategic plan goals. The Program was designed with assistance from an outside, independent consultant and approved by the Board of Directors.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11   Following completion of Form 990 (Form) by the DAV's tax preparer, it is reviewed by DAV's Accounting Department staff and Executive Director. Once resulting revisions are made, the Form is mailed to the Board of Directors for their review and questions. It is subsequently filed with the IRS.
  Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c All members of the Board of Directors receive a copy of the Conflict of Interest Policy immediately upon assuming office, or at a minimum, annually. The same process applies to key employees and department directors. Recipients acknowledge they have read the policy, identify any areas of conflict and return the signed disclosure form to the DAV Executive Director. Responses are reviewed and identified. Conflicts are referred to the Board of Directors for discussion and approval as appropriate.
  Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Every four or five years DAV hires an independent consulting firm to review compensation of DAV National Adjutant and CEO, Executive Directors, key employees, and other top management officials. This involves review of position responsibilities, accumulation of comparable data from other organizations and determination of appropriate compensation ranges for each. The ranges are reviewed and approved by independent members of the Board of Directors (Board). Any subsequent changes in compensation, typically annual and within the established ranges, are also approved by the Board. Non-employee members of DAV's Board receive a daily per diem of $250 when attending meetings or representing DAV at various related events. This is primarily to cover meals and lodging.
  Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Governing documents and the conflict of interest policy are available upon request. The DAV Annual Report and most recent Form 900 are available on DAV's website (www.dav.org) and also upon request or public inspection at DAV National Headquarters.
