Return Reference Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS SERVICE PROGRAM (CONT) In more than 100 offices throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico, we employ a corps of 261 national service officers (NSOs) and 32 transition service officers (TSOs) who counsel and represent veterans, their families and survivors with claims for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense and other government agencies. Since being chartered by Congress in 1932, they filed 11.5 million claims for benefits. Service officers function as attorneys-in-fact, assisting veterans, their families and survivors in filing claims for VA disability compensation, rehabilitation and education programs, pensions, death benefits, and employment and training programs. They provide free services, such as information seminars and counseling and community outreach activities through the Mobile Service Office (MSO) Program in order to educate and inform veterans on the benefits they have earned through service. They also advise veterans and active-duty military personnel in regard to the Disabled Assistance Program, the Transition Assistance Program and other official panels. MILITARY service members making the all-important transition to civilian life, DAV participates in Transition Assistance and Disabled Transition Assistance programs. Our TRANSITION SERVICE OFFICERS (TSO) provide benefits counseling and assistance to service members filing initial claims for VA benefits at nearly 100 military installations throughout the country. The Mobile Service Office Program delivers DAV services to veterans, their families and survivors in their own communities. The program extends DAV's benefits assistance to veterans who might not be able to access it otherwise due to distance, transportation, health or other various reasons. Information seminars are conducted to educate veterans and their families on specific veterans' benefits and services. We are in our fourth year of deploying mobile offices to colleges and universities and conducting service seminars for student veterans on campuses throughout the nation. In calendar year 2018, our efforts with these programs resulted in more than 53 events being conducted throughout 38 states and Puerto Rico. DAV continues its pro bono representation program for veterans seeking review in the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. DAV currently works with two law firms that are highly accomplished in dealing with veterans' issues at the court. In fiscal year 2018, the BVA acted on more than 21,807 cases involving DAV clients. These were cases reviewed to identify those in which a veterans' claim was improperly denied. The relationship between DAV and these private law firms has resulted in 1,718 cases previously denied by the BVA being appealed to the court at no cost to the veterans. In 2018, DAV trained and certified 2,542 department and chapter service officers in 49 states. Revamped in 2016, the program now allows for Level I and Level II certification training for department and chapter service officers. DAV service officers were available to educate veterans and the public at other community-based events including participation in state and county fairs, and Major League Baseball, National Football League, National Hockey League and NASCAR events. Counting all national, transition, department, chapter and county veteran service officers, DAV has a total of 3,942 experts nationwide who provide representation for veterans. With the support of our state-level departments and local chapters, these free seminars are administered by DAV's highly trained national service officers and are hosted around the country. During 2018, DAV conducted 130 seminars, which resulted in 8,726 attendees and 1,132 interviews conducted with veterans and other potential claimants. These seminars also resulted in 334 claims filed through the VA. Expenses $39,966,423 including grants of grants of $75,589. Revenue $0. State Services and Disaster Relief During 2018, DAV distributed 305 supply kits and provided 3,569 payments totaling in excess of $1.2 million to service-injured or ill veterans, service members and their families in need of relief. Since the program's inception in 1968, nearly $12.8 million has been disbursed to victims. When disaster strikes, DAV service officers and members deploy into devastated areas, enabling DAV to provide much-needed monetary assistance, conduct benefits counseling and offer referral services for veterans, service members and their families in need. Our Disaster Relief Program provides grants in the aftermath of natural disasters and emergencies in various areas around the nation to help veterans and their families secure temporary lodging, food and other necessities. Support was provided at Ground Zero following the attacks on World Trade Center and around the Gulf Coast following hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Most recently, DAV supported veterans and their families in the wake of hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, volcanoes and flooding throughout Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, South Carolina and Texas. Supply kits - backpacks, blankets and hygiene kits - are provided as an additional resource for safety, comfort and self-sufficiency in an extended emergency, disaster or evacuation. Each hygiene kit includes basic necessities such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, razors and shaving cream, hand sanitizer, deodorant, shampoo and soap. The DAV State Service Program granted funds to DAV state-level departments under this program totaling $3.9 million in 2018. This program helps fund services that our state-level departments provide to veterans and their families. In some cases the department programs dovetail or supplement those of our nationwide programs. In other cases they are unique for veterans in their state. DAV also donated to the DAV Just B Kids Scholarship Fund supporting Camp Corral. The scholarships helped 1,000 children of wounded disabled or fallen military members attend a free week of summer camp at Camp Corral and connect with other campers who share similar backgrounds and experiences. Expenses $6,078,928 including grants of $6,069,521. Revenue $0.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS VOLUNTARY SERVICES PROGRAM (CONT) The DAV Transportation Network is the largest program of its kind for veterans in the nation. This unique initiative helps get veterans to and from VA medical appointments by providing vehicles and a team of volunteer drivers. It is managed by 178 hospital service coordinators located at 212 VA medical centers and outpatient clinics, and is operated by committed DAV volunteer drivers. Since the program's inception in 1987, DAV departments and chapters have donated 3,294 vehicles, and Ford Motor Co. has donated 223 vehicles at a total combined cost of more than $80.1 million. The amount of hours DAV volunteers dedicate, the miles they drive and the number of rides they provide to veterans reflect promises we've ensured were kept. To put this into perspective, DAV volunteer drivers have driven 734,600,433 miles since the program began. In 2018, volunteers traveled 17,664,665 miles, providing more than 625,000 rides to veterans and donating over 1.4 million hours of their time. 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. Other DAV voluntary service program initiatives include the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic, National Disabled Veterans Tee Tournament, Jesse Brown Memorial Youth Scholarship Program, Local Veterans Assistance Program and VA Voluntary Service Program. Expenses $3,688,397 including grants of $1,416,259. Revenue $0.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM (CONT) Whether its unemployment or underemployment, DAV realizes the challenge that many veterans face in pursuing rewarding careers. Established in 2014, the DAV National Employment Program has firmly positioned itself as a leader among veterans service organizations in providing assistance to veterans and their spouses seeking new or better jobs. Primary components of this mission were our strategic partnerships with RecruitMilitary, a full-service, military-to-civilian recruiting firm, and Veteran Recruiting, who hosts virtual career fairs that are accessible to all veterans. DAV, along with its partners, uses a multitude of online and traditional resources to connect employers, franchisers and educational institutions with active service members, Guard and Reserve personnel, veterans and spouses. In less than five years, DAV has already made a significant impact to reduce the number of unemployed and underemployed veterans. In fact, from June 2014 through December 2018, DAV sponsored 463 traditional and virtual career fairs that nearly 172,000 active service members, Guard and Reserve personnel, veterans and spouses attended, resulting in more than 132,000 job offers. In 2019, DAV will continue our staunch efforts by sponsoring more than 140 traditional and virtual career fairs, including 20 events on military bases such as Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.; Fort Bragg, N.C.; Fort Hood, Texas; Camp Lejeune, N.C.; and Camp Pendleton, Calif. DAV also works directly with companies seeking the many talents and skills veterans possess. Our program provides a multitude of resources that veterans can access within our employment resources webpage (jobs.dav.org), including a job search board that boasts more than 200,000 current employment opportunities around the world and direct links to company website job boards. We are very happy to report that our employment resources website has grown in content and resources with nearly 14,000 views monthly. While online resources are always evolving, we are constantly improving and adding new content to our website to highlight a variety of useful employment and educational resources. Through efforts started in 2017, we expanded our assistance by adding The Veteran Advantage: DAV Guide to Hiring & Retaining Veterans with Disabilities. Through interaction with hundreds of companies, recurring questions about best practices and strategies when hiring veterans with disabilities were becoming more and more common. In fact, DAV officially released the guide in October 2018 and had more than 54,000 views of the digital version, which resides free of charge on our website, jobs.dav.org. With the hiring guide, DAV aims to provide companies, hiring managers or other human resources professionals a solution- oriented, practical and strategic approach to hiring and retaining veterans with disabilities. Lastly, we have launched a new partnership with Hiring America, the foremost voice in televised televised programs dedicated solely to helping veterans secure meaningful employment. Each episode features companies with outstanding veteran hiring initiatives; shares insights from CEOs, career counselors and human resources specialists; and provides valuable information to help ease the transition for veterans entering the civilian workforce. With the programs projected reach of nearly 3 million viewers, we are very excited about its addition to the growing number of tools and resources DAV provides to active service members, Guard and Reserve personnel, veterans and spouses who are seeking employment, as well as the companies who want to hire them. Expenses $1,529,400 including grants of $0. Revenue $0. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D, OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM DAV's National Communications Department runs internal and external communications programs-including, but not limited to, publications, media relations, digital material and numerous outreach efforts-to tell DAV's story and support its key objectives. A bimonthly magazine informs our members on critical issues and policies impacting the federal benefits and services veterans have earned through their service. It also brings attention to DAV's state-level departments and our local chapters by highlighting their many successful service programs and, therefore, inspiring strong and effective strategies in communities from coast to coast. By producing public service announcements, news releases, brochures, speeches, op-eds, print messages, educational videos and other content, DAV is able to spread information about our organization and the complete scope of free services that help create more victories for veterans. Furthermore, DAV has continued to grow its social media presence through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. On Facebook, DAV provides daily information to more than 1.4 million followers, and DAV's posts reach more than 168,000 people each day. In 2018, our Twitter page grew by nearly 7 percent to reach over 100,000 followers. DAV tweets were seen by more than 9.3 million individuals throughout the year. DAV's Instagram following broke the 31,000 follower threshold by growing our audience by more than 19 percent over the last year. DAV once again touched the lives of countless veterans and supporters through the Thank A Vet campaign. This initiative provides everyone an easy way to thank a veteran in their life by adding a photo and their personal thanks to the DAV Thank A Vet Mosaic. From Oct. 31 to Nov. 15, 2018, the Thank A Vet program saw over 190,000 total sessions on its site; more than 111,000 of them were from DAV's social media platforms. Nearly 9,000 submissions were received, which represented a 220 percent increase from 2017. Our website, dav.org, is another very valuable informational and educational tool for veterans and the general public. The site continues to develop ways to connect veterans to DAV's free services; spread awareness of legislative issues; and educate and inform our members, veterans and the public. It also allows veterans and citizens to make their voices heard on important public-policy issues through an email feedback feature. In 2018, the organization's official website was visited more than 2.8 million times. With such an immense collection of programs and services, DAV is able to provide detailed research and resources to best explain issues with facts, applicable examples and important context. As a result, our educational public service and outreach programs continue to promote awareness of veterans' issues and honor veterans' service to our nation. Expenses $9,081,722 including grants of $15,000. Revenue $0.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D, OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES (CONT) MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM The lifeblood of DAV is its membership. When veterans join DAV, they enlist in a fight to ensure our nation keeps its promises to those who've served. The unwavering devotion that members dedicate to our mission has made DAV the premier veteran's service organization, and our commitment has spanned nearly a century. DAV is the leading voice for our nation's injured and ill veterans, regardless of service era. This commitment is expressed in our mission statement and makes DAV unique among other organizations. DAV was founded in the immediate aftermath of World War I, as no group then existed to provide and advocate for veterans forever changed by military service. Our legacy has evolved to meet the changing needs of members, families and caregivers amid the historical journey of our nation. Our military and American society continues to change, and DAV embraces those changes to ensure veterans of all service eras and genders are able to have their chance at the American dream. Today, social networking and other changes to the ways Americans communicate allow DAV members to play a larger role than ever as spokespeople advocating for the unique needs of the veteran community. We continue to respond to the needs of the current generation of veterans and are also steadfast in our resolution to ensure equitable support for another vital part of our community-veteran caregivers. These unsung heroes provide unfaltering dedication to disabled veterans, often assuming a life of heavy responsibility and sacrifice to care for their loved ones affected by devastating illness or injury. DAV has over 4,700 members dedicated to recruiting veterans so that we can maintain our strong voice and credibility with lawmakers now and well into the future. With 52 state-level departments and 1,262 active chapters nationwide, we closed the 2017-2018 membership year with more than 1 million veterans in DAV, ensuring a strong, unified and living embodiment of DAV's mission of service to veterans, their families and survivors. Expenses $5,591,780 including grants of $0. Revenue $6,951,769. LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM For almost a century, DAV has been advocating for better federal veterans programs, benefits, health care and transition services for the men and women who served, their families and survivors. In supporting our legislative program, DAV members steer our efforts by submitting resolutions adopted at our national convention. Fueled by the shared voice of more than 1 million members, DAV works with Congress to improve federal laws, regulations and policies of the Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal agencies whose programs impact the veteran population. Throughout 2018, DAV exerted significant influence on the development, approval and implementation of federal legislation and programs to support ill and injured veterans thanks to our broad national support. Although our legislative program accounted for less than 1 percent of the organization's total expenditures in 2018, we were able to leverage those resources-thanks to the support of DAV's nationwide network of grassroots members and supporters-to help achieve some historic victories for veterans. Our 2018 Mid-Winter Conference, held in Washington, D.C., in February and attended by more than 500 of DAV's leading advocates, provided a strong grassroots push for all of our legislative priorities for the year. As a result of those efforts, a number of DAV's key legislative goals were enacted, including the historic VA MISSION Act, a bill to reform and strengthen the VA health care system; expand VA's comprehensive package of caregiver benefits to all eras of seriously injured veterans; and improve earned benefits for veterans, their families and survivors. Expenses $ 2,189,204 including grants of $ 0. Revenue $0 PUBLIC AWARENESS OUTREACH The size of the U.S. military decreased from just over 2 million in 1990 to just under 1.3 million by 2017. Less than one-half of 1 percent of the U.S. population on any given day is responsible for the defense of our nation and the values we hold dear. This downward trend is expected to continue in the decades ahead, meaning less and less of the American public will have friends and family who have served, let alone wore the uniform of service themselves. A democracy is at its peak strength when a predominance of its citizens actively engage in and support its institutions. To help bridge the military-civilian gap, roughly $28 million was dedicated to the large-scale effort to spread DAV's message of service, hope and support in 2018. This investment has made a real impact in helping to make the general public aware of the sacrifices necessary to protect American freedom. Additionally, DAV 5Ks created exciting opportunities for communities around the nation to display their patriotism and show just how much they appreciate our veterans. In 2018, we held DAV 5K events in Atlanta; Boston; Cincinnati; Kemah, Texas; Newport News, Va.; and Tulsa, Okla. In total, more than 8,000 people and nearly 600 volunteers personally honored and thanked friends and family members who served or are currently serving our country. Expenses $27,744,907 including grants of $0. Revenue $75,845. Public Service Announcement Program In 2018, DAV public service announcement campaigns showcased our mission and raised awareness of the programs and free services we provide to veterans and their families. Additionally, these important messages raised awareness among the general public of DAV and the service, sacrifices and needs of those we serve. In increasingly busy and cluttered ad spaces of network radio, television and other media, DAV stood tall and reached an audience of unprecedented size. In 2018, our program grew to $90.8 million in estimated media value, representing 3 percent growth from 2017. This program relies on donated media from television, radio, print, outdoor and transit outlets. The extensive media exposure resulted in more than 8.2 billion impressions. This was made possible by national television outlets ABC, CBS and ESPN; national print placements in The Wall Street Journal, First for Women and Ebony magazines; and regional placements by TIME, Money and Golf Digest. DAVs mission of service to all veterans was front and center in our national and local placements. Our outreach was crafted to inform the veteran community about DAVs free services and help inspire veterans to overcome obstacles and achieve their own personal victories. As the gap between our military and civilian populations continues to widen, these messages helped to serve as testament to an American public too often unaware of the sacrifices of men and women in uniform. Expenses $1,083,690 including grants of $0. Revenue $0.
