SCHEDULE J, PART I, LINE 1A

FIRST CLASS OR CHARTER TRAVEL: DAV-PAID AIRFARE IS TYPICALLY FOR COACH-CLASS TRAVEL. FIRST-CLASS AIRFARE MAY BE APPROVED ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS CONSIDERING SUCH FACTORS AS: (A) DISABILITY OF THE TRAVELER (B) SIZE OF THE TRAVELER; (C)DISTANCE TRAVELED; (D) COST ANALYSIS; AND (E) OTHER REASONABLE FACTORS. DAV DOES NOT PAY FOR CHARTER TRAVEL. IN 2020, NO FIRST CLASS OR CHARTER TRAVEL BUSINESS TRIPS WERE PROVIDED FOR INDIVIDUALS LISTED ON FORM 990 PART VII. 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 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 2020, NO COMPANION TRAVEL WAS PROVIDED FOR INDIVIDUALS LISTED ON FORM 990 PART VII. DISCRETIONARY SPENDING ACCOUNT: DURING THEIR ONE-YEAR, NON-SUCCESSIVE TERM, DAV PAYS THE NATIONAL COMMANDER AN ANNUAL EXPENSE ALLOWANCE PRORATED FROM THE DATE OF HIS/HER ELECTION TO THE DATE OF THE ELECTION OF HIS/HER 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 2020, STEPHEN WHITEHEAD, DAV NATIONAL COMMANDER, RECEIVED $225,000 FOR SUCH PAYMENTS.

Return Reference	Explanation
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	SERVICE PROGRAM (CONT) NATIONAL SERVICE OFFICES - IN MORE THAN 100 OFFICES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND IN PUERTO RICO, WE EMPLOY A CORPS OF NATIONAL BENEFITS ADVOCATES, NATIONAL SERVICE OFFICERS (NSOS) AND 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. 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 COUNSELING AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH ACTIVITIES THROUGH THE INFORMATION SEMINAR 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 REGARDS TO THE TRANSITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. SINCE BEING CHARTERED BY CONGRESS IN 1932, THEY FILED 11.8 MILLION CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS. TRAINING - DAV'S NATIONAL BENEFITS ADVOCATES TRAIN THROUGHOUT THEIR CAREERS TO STAY CURRENT WITH THE CHANGES IN LAWS AND REGULATIONS AFFECTING VETERANS' BENEFITS. THE INTERACTIVE TRAINING, RESEARCH, ADVOCACY AND KNOWLEDGE SYSTEM, KNOWN AS ITRAK, HAS MADE THE INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE OF DAV'S NATIONAL SERVICE OFFICER PROGRAM ACCESSIBLE NATIONWIDE. THIS SYSTEM REVOLUTIONIZES HOW DAV SERVES VETERANS, TRAINS SERVICE OFFICERS, AND RESEARCHES AND COLLABORATES TO REPRESENT VETERANS IN THEIR CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS. THIS ONGOING TRAINING ENSURES THAT ALL DAV NATIONAL SERVICE OFFICERS ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF VETERANS' ADVOCACY AND THAT THE MOST RIGOROUS PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS ARE MAINTAINED. NATIONAL SERVICE OFFICERS ARE EDUCATED PROFESSIONALS AND SKILLED EXPERTS IN DEVELOPING AND PROSECUTING VETERANS' CLAIMS THROUGH IN-DEPTH REVIEWS OF MEDICAL HISTORIES ALONG WITH CURRENT LAWS AND REGULATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THEY REVIEW RATING BOARD DECISIONS AND INFORM VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES OF THE APPEALS PROCESS AND OF THEIR APPELLATE RIGHTS. DAV EQUIPS SERVICE OFFICERS WITH STATE-OF-THE-ART COMPUTER RESOURCES TO KEEP THEIR CUTTING-EDGE ADVOCACY SKILLS UP TO DATE. THE EXTENSIVE PREPARATION REQUIRED FOR THESE CRUCIAL SERVICES BEGINS WITH A 16-MONTH, ON-THE-JOB TRAINING PROGRAM. THIS INTERACTIVE, SELF-DIRECTED TRAINING PROGRAM PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION FOR APPRENTICES TO BECOME EFFECTIVE ADVOCATES. APPRENTICES ARE INSTRUCTED AND MENTORED BY TENURED SUPERVISORS. DAV IS THE ONLY VETERANS SERVICE ORGANIZATION TO HAVE A TRAINING PROGRAM CERTIFIED FOR COLLEGE CREDIT BY THE AMERICAN COUNCIL ON EDUCATION IN HEALTH LAW AND ETHICS, HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS, ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY, PATHOPHYSIOLOGY, MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY AND INTRODUCTION TO PUBLIC POLICY, TOPICS IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, AND ADMINISTRATIVE LAW. IN ADDITION TO THESE TRAINING PROGRAMS, SUPERVISORY STAFF AND SELECTED VETERAN ADVOCATES FROM FIELD OFFICES ACROSS THE COUNTRY RECEIVE SPECIALIZED INSTRUCTION IN MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT. OUR GOAL IS TO CONTINUE PRODUCING THE MOST HIGHLY TRAINED REPRESENTATIVES POSSIBLE TO BEST SERVE VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES. NATIONAL APPEALS OFFICE - THE BOARD OF VETERANS' APPEALS (BVA) IS THE HIGHEST APPELLATE-LEVEL COURT WITHIN THE VA AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FINAL DECISION CONCERNING VETERANS' BENEFITS. MORE THAN 96% OF THE CLAIMS BEFORE THE BVA INVOLVE DISABILITY COMPENSATION ISSUES. OUR HIGHLY SKILLED NATIONAL APPEALS OFFICERS SERVE APPELLANTS IN THE PREPARATION OF WRITTEN BRIEFS FOR BVA REVIEW AND CONDUCT FORMAL HEARINGS BEFORE VETERANS' LAW JUDGES. DAV'S EFFORTS HAVE RESULTED IN APPROXIMATELY 77% OF DECISIONS BEING OVERTURNED OR CASES BEING REMANDED TO THE REGIONAL OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND RE-ADJUDICATION. WE MAINTAIN THE LARGEST STAFF OF ANY ADVOCACY GROUP AND REPRESENTED 19.5% OF ALL CASES DECIDED BY THE BVA IN 2020. JUDICIAL APPEALS - 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 SPECIALIZE IN REPRESENTING VETERANS' ISSUES AT THE COURT. IN FISCAL YEAR 2020, THE BVA ACTED ON MORE THAN 16,400 CASES INVOLVING DAV CLIENTS. THESE WERE CASES REVIEWED TO IDENTIFY THOSE IN WHICH A VETERAN'S CLAIM WAS IMPROPERLY DENIED. THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DAV AND THESE PRIVATE LAW FIRMS HAS RESULTED IN OVER 1,200 CASES PREVIOUSLY DENIED BY THE BVA BEING APPEALED TO THE COURT AT NO COST TO THE VETERANS. THESE DEDICATED LEGAL PARTNERS HAVE ENABLED THIS PROGRAM TO GROW EXPONENTIALLY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. TRANSITION ASSISTANCE - DAV CONTINUES TO PROVIDE DIRECT ON-SITE ASSISTANCE TO INJURED AND ILL ACTIVE-DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL THROUGH OUR TRANSITION SERVICE PROGRAM, CURRENTLY IN ITS 19TH YEAR. THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES BENEFITS COUNSELING AND ASSISTANCE TO SEPARATING SERVICE MEMBERS SEEKING TO FILE INITIAL CLAIMS FOR BENEFITS ADMINISTERED THROUGH THE VA. OUR TRANSITION SERVICE OFFICERS ARE TRAINED SPECIFICALLY TO EDUCATE TRANSITIONING VETERANS, REVIEW MILITARY SERVICE TREATMENT RECORDS AND INITIATE CLAIMS ACTIVITIES AT NEARLY 100 MILITARY INSTALLATIONS WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES AND HAWAII. IN 2020, DAV CONDUCTED OVER 300 BRIEFINGS TO SEPARATING SERVICE MEMBERS, REACHING OVER 10,000 TOTAL PARTICIPANTS IN THOSE SESSIONS. THEY ALSO COUNSELED OVER 21,000 SEPARATING SERVICE MEMBERS, REVIEWED MORE THAN 19,000 MILITARY SERVICE TREATMENT RECORDS AND PRESENTED ALMOST 17,000 VA BENEFITS APPLICATIONS. DAV REMAINS COMMITTED TO ADVOCATING FOR TRANSITIONING SERVICE MEMBERS TO ENSURE ALL ARE BETTER INFORMED ABOUT THE BENEFITS THEY HAVE EARNED AS A RESULT OF THEIR MILITARY SERVICE. IT IS THROUGH THIS PROGRAM DAV IS ABLE TO ADVISE SERVICE MEMBERS OF THEIR BENEFITS AND ENSURE THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT THE FREE SERVICES DAV IS ABLE TO PROVIDE DURING EVERY STAGE OF THE CLAIMS AND APPEALS PROCESS. GRASSROOTS BENEFITS ADVOCACY - NATIONAL DAV BENEFITS ADVOCATES HAVE THE COOPERATION, SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE OF DEPARTMENT AND CHAPTER SERVICE OFFICERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. PARTICIPATING DEPARTMENTS AND CHAPTERS RECEIVE TRAINING AND INFORMATION NECESSARY TO ASSIST THOSE WE SERVE. OUR DEPARTMENT AND CHAPTER SERVICE OFFICER CERTIFICATION TRAINING PROGRAM GUARANTEES THE VITALITY AND GROWTH OF OUR LOCAL SERVICE PROGRAMS, WHICH PROVIDE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE OUR HOSPITAL SERVICE COORDINATORS, DEPARTMENT AND CHAPTER SERVICE OFFICERS, AND VOLUNTEERS WORK TOGETHER FOR THE COMMON GOAL OF SERVICE TO INJURED AND ILL VETERANS. CURRENTLY, DAV HAS TRAINED AND CERTIFIED DEPARTMENT AND CHAPTER SERVICE OFFICERS IN ALL 50 STATES AS WELL AS WASHINGTON, D.C., AND PUERTO RICO. THE PROGRAM ALLOWS FOR LEVEL I AND LEVEL II CERTIFICATION TRAINING FOR DEPARTMENT AND CHAPTER SERVICE OFFICERS. LEVEL I TRAINING IS DESIGNED TO TEACH AND FAMILIARIZE THE ROLE OF A CHAPTER OR DEPARTMENT SERVICE OFFICER BY INTRODUCING BASIC CLAIM INFORMATION AND THE DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR A WIDE ARRAY OF BENEFITS. LEVEL II CERTIFICATION IS MORE IN-DEPTH TRAINING IN SPECIFIC CLAIM INFORMATION ON TOPICS INCLUDING THE THREE ELEMENTS OF SERVICE CONNECTION, THE PROCESS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR HAVING A DECISION RECONSIDERED, PRESUMPTIVE CONDITIONS AND HOW THEY RELATE WITH DIFFERENT PERIODS OF SERVICE AND CONFLICTS, THE IMPORTANCE OF MEDICAL EVIDENCE AND THE USE OF THE COMBINED RATING TABLE. DEPARTMENT AND CHAPTER SERVICE OFFICERS PROVIDE A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR VETERANS TO DISCUSS VA BENEFITS IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES WITHOUT MAKING A TRIP INTO A NATIONAL SERVICE OFFICE, WHICH ALSO GIVES CHAPTERS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT WITH VETERANS. VETERANS ARE ALSO INFORMED OF LOCAL RESOURCES AND OPPORTUNITIES TO GIVE BACK AND SUPPORT THEIR FELLOW VETERANS THROUGH THEIR LOCAL DAV DEPARTMENT OR CHAPTER. COUNTING ALL NATIONAL, TRANSITION, DEPARTMENT, CHAPTER AND COUNTY VETERAN SERVICE OFFICERS, DAV HAS OVER 4,000 EXPERT BENEFITS ADVOCATES NATIONWIDE WHO PROVIDE REPRESENTATION FOR VETERANS. EXPENSES $37,976,172 INCLUDING GRANTS OF $75,123. REVENUE $0.
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	VOLUNTARY SERVICES PROGRAM (CONT) - THE VALUE OF VOLUNTEER HOURS AND SERVICES AMOUNTED TO OVER $18 MILLION. TO INCENTIVIZE YOUTH VOLUNTEERS, DAV AWARDED $75,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS THROUGH ITS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. DAV TRANSPORTATION NETWORK - A UNIQUE PROGRAM THAT HAS SUCCESSFULLY HELPED VETERANS GET TO AND FROM THEIR MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS AND THROUGHOUT THEIR DAILY LIVES FOR NEARLY 35 YEARS. THE PROGRAM IS THE LARGEST OF ITS KIND FOR VETERANS IN THE NATION. OPERATED BY DEDICATED DAV VOLUNTEER DRIVERS, THE PROGRAM PROVIDES TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM 228 VA MEDICAL CENTERS AND OUTPATIENT CLINICS. IT IS MANAGED BY A TEAM OF 155 HOSPITAL SERVICE COORDINATORS. SINCE THE PROGRAM'S INCEPTION IN 1987, DAV DEPARTMENTS AND CHAPTERS HAVE DONATED 3,558 VEHICLES AND FORD MOTOR CO. HAS DONATED 239 VEHICLES, AT A TOTAL COMBINED COST OF MORE THAN $88 MILLION. THE AMOUNT OF HOURS DAV VOLUNTEERS DEDICATE, THE MILES THEY DRIVE AND THE NUMBER OF RIDES THEY PROVIDE TO VETERANS ARE A TESTAMENT TO THE PROMISES WE'VE ENSURED WERE KEPT. TO PUT THIS INTO PERSPECTIVE, DAV VOLUNTEERS HAVE DRIVEN 760,547,592 MILES SINCE THE PROGRAM BEGAN. THE BENEFIT OF DAV'S TRANSPORTATION NETWORK GOES BEYOND ENSURING VETERANS IN NEED ARE ABLE TO GET THE CARE THEY DESERVE AND HAVE EARNED. WITHOUT THIS PROGRAM, MANY VETERANS WOULD HAVE NO WAY TO ACCESS THEIR HEALTH CARE. ACCORDING TO NONPROFIT COALITION INDEPENDENT SECTOR'S METHODOLOGY, THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS HAS VALUED THE DAV TRANSPORTATION NETWORK'S HOURS OF VOLUNTEER SERVICE AT OVER $18 MILLION, BASED ON THE CURRENT FORMULA OF $27.20 PER HOUR. ADDITIONALLY, EACH VETERAN PASSENGER COULD POTENTIALLY COST THE VA $0.415 PER MILE IN BENEFICIARY TRAVEL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT FOR TRAVEL TO AN APPOINTMENT OR TREATMENT. THE TRANSPORTATION NETWORK CONTINUES TO PROVIDE A SUBSTANTIAL NEED FOR VETERANS, WHILE DELIVERING A POWERFUL IMPACT ON LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND AN INDISPENSABLE RESOURCE FOR 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. NATIONAL DISABLED VETERANS WINTER SPORTS CLINIC - FOR 36 YEARS, DAV AND THE VA HAVE COLLABORATED TO HELP CREATE "MIRACLES ON A MOUNTAINSIDE" AT THE NATIONAL DISABLED VETERANS WINTER SPORTS CLINIC IN SNOWMASS, COLORADO, NEAR ASPEN, THIS UNIQUE PHYSICAL REHABILITATION PROGRAM, LAUNCHED IN 1985, ANNUALLY HELPS NEARLY 400 SEVERELY INJURED VETERANS REBUILD CONFIDENCE AND REGAIN STABILITY IN THEIR LIVES, ALL WHILE OVER 1,000 VOLUNTEERS HELP PROVIDE A FUN AND FULFILLING WEEK OF WINTER SPORTS. ALTHOUGH THIS EVENT WAS CANCELED IN 2020 DUE TO HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERNS AMID THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, WE RECOGNIZE ITS VAST POSITIVE IMPACT AND LOOK FORWARD TO ONCE AGAIN INVITING VETERANS FROM ACROSS THE NATION WITH MULTIPLE AMPUTATIONS, TRAUMATIC BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD INJURIES, SEVERE NEUROLOGICAL DEFICITS OR EVEN TOTAL BLINDNESS TO TAKE PART IN THE CLINIC TO DEVELOP WINTER SPORTS SKILLS AND TAKE PART IN A VARIETY OF WORKSHOPS AND EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS. THE EVENT ENCOURAGES VETERANS TO CHALLENGE THEIR PERCEIVED LIMITATIONS AND PROMOTES BOTH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL REHABILITATION AND RESTORATION THROUGH ADAPTIVE SKIING, ROCK WALL CLIMBING, ICE HOCKEY AND OTHER SPORTS. BY EXAMPLE, THESE ACTIVITIES SHOW VETERANS THEY ARE NOT LIMITED TO ADAPTIVE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES OR SPORTS OF ANY KIND. VETERANS OF ALL ERAS, INCLUDING WORLD WAR II, KOREA, VIETNAM, THE GULF WAR AND THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN, ATTEND THE CLINIC, ENJOYING THE CAMARADERIE AND REASSURANCE OF THOSE WHO ALSO SERVED. NATIONAL DISABLED VETERANS TEE TOURNAMENT, - DAV TAKES GREAT PRIDE IN PRESENTING THE NATIONAL DISABLED VETERANS TEE (TRAINING, EXPOSURE, EXPERIENCE) TOURNAMENT IN IOWA CITY, IOWA, WITH OUR PARTNERS AT THE VA. THE FOUR-DAY CLINIC CONSISTS OF GOLF, HORSEBACK RIDING AND OTHER ADAPTIVE SPORTS WORKSHOPS. THE CLINIC THAT ANNUALLY WELCOMES NEARLY 300 INJURED AND DISABLED VETERANS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO HAPPEN WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE OVER 1,000 VOLUNTEERS WHO ATTEND THE EVENT EVERY YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS EVENT WAS ALSO CANCELED DUE TO THE ONGOING PANDEMIC IN 2020. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CO-PRESENTING THIS EVENT WHEN IT IS ONCE AGAIN SAFE TO DO SO. MENTORING RETREATS - DAV, IN ASSOCIATION WITH BOULDER CREST RETREAT AND THE GARY SINISE FOUNDATION, IS COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL AND MONETARY WELL-BEING OF OUR NATION'S MILITARY MEMBERS, VETERANS, FIRST RESPONDERS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS. DAV PARTICIPATES IN FIVE RETREATS ANNUALLY FOR ILL AND INJURED VETERANS, INCLUDING ONE ALL-FEMALE VETERAN RETREAT, AT BOULDER CREST'S LOCATIONS IN BLUEMONT, VIRGINIA, AND SONOITA, ARIZONA. DAV IS PROUD TO DISCOVER AND WORK TOGETHER ON NEW AND HOLISTIC WAYS TO HELP THE VETERANS WE SERVE OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES THAT OFTEN FOLLOW MILITARY SERVICE. DAV LEADERS, INCLUDING SEVERAL DAV PAST NATIONAL COMMANDERS, HAVE ASSISTED AS MENTORS TO THE LATEST GENERATION OF SERIOUSLY INJURED VETERANS. THEIR SPOUSES HAVE ALSO SERVED AS MENTORS TO THE CAREGIVERS OF PARTICIPANTS AND IMPARTED THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THAT COMES WITH DECADES OF SERVICE AS CAREGIVERS TO THEIR INJURED HEROES. AMONG MANY PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO HELP MILITARY MEMBERS, VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES DEAL WITH THE CHALLENGES THEY FACE AFTER ILLNESS OR INJURY IS THE PROGRAM PRESENTED BY BOULDER CREST, THE WARRIOR PATHH (PROGRESSIVE AND ALTERNATIVE TRAINING FOR HEALING HEROES). WARRIOR PATHH IS THE NATION'S FIRST NONCLINICAL PROGRAM DESIGNED TO CULTIVATE AND FACILITATE GROWTH AMONG THOSE STRUGGLING WITH POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER. WARRIOR PATHH ENABLES THESE REMARKABLE MEN AND WOMEN TO TRANSFORM MOMENTS OF DEEP STRUGGLE INTO PROFOUND STRENGTH AND GROWTH. IT DELIVERS SHORT-DURATION, HIGH-IMPACT PROGRAMS BASED ON THE SCIENCE OF POST-TRAUMATIC GROWTH. SINCE ITS INCEPTION, THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN CRUCIAL IN HELPING INJURED VETERANS THROUGH A WEEKLONG PROGRAM WHERE THEY ARE INTRODUCED TO YOGA, MEDITATION, EQUINE THERAPY, ARCHERY AND CAREER-BUILDING EXERCISES. YOUTH VOLUNTEERS - THE SIGNIFICANCE OF YOUNG VOLUNTEERS PROVIDING CARE TO OUR NATION'S HEROES AND STRENGTHENING THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES IS EVER-PRESENT AND REPRESENTED THROUGH DAV'S JESSE BROWN MEMORIAL YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. ANNUALLY, OUR SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM RECOGNIZES OUTSTANDING YOUNG VOLUNTEERS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE VA VOLUNTARY SERVICE (VAVS) PROGRAM, DAV'S LOCAL VETERANS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LVAP) OR BOTH. LAST YEAR, DAV DEDICATED $75,000 TO YOUTH VOLUNTEERS WHO DONATED THEIR TIME AND COMPASSION TO INJURED AND ILL VETERANS. SINCE THE PROGRAM'S COMMENCEMENT, DAV HAS AWARDED 203 INDIVIDUAL SCHOLARSHIPS, VALUED AT $1,568,000, TO ENABLE THESE EXTRAORDINARY YOUNG PEOPLE TO PURSUE THEIR GOALS IN HIGHER EDUCATION. LAST YEAR'S TOP HONOR OF $20,000 WENT TO TANNER JOHNSON, OF CHEYENNE, WYOMING. JOHNSON HAS BEEN A DAV VOLUNTEER SINCE 2018 AND HAS CONTRIBUTED 1,624 HOURS TO THE CHEYENNE VA MEDICAL CENTER. THE PROGRAM EMPOWERS AND INCENTIVIZES STUDENT VOLUNTEERS TO GAIN LIFE AND JOB EXPERIENCE, STRIVE TO BE SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS AND BECOME ACTIVE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. VA VOLUNTARY SERVICE PROGRAM - THE VAVS PROGRAM PROVIDES AN EXTENSIVE ARRAY OF SERVICES TO VETERANS IN VA HEALTH CARE FACILITIES THROUGHOUT OUR NATION. DAV VOLUNTEERS PERFORM ESSENTIAL DUTIES, FROM BEING A COMPANION TO A VETERAN DURING DAYS OF RECOVERY OR THERAPY TO DOING TASKS THAT REQUIRE HIGHLY TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONAL SKILLS. DAV, ALONG WITH THE AUXILIARY, TOTALED OVER 603,000 HOURS OF VOLUNTEERING IN 2020. ACCORDING TO THE PAST VA FISCAL YEAR, THOSE HOURS COULD BE ACCUMULATED TO $16.4 MILLION IN COMPENSATION VALUE, SAVING TAXPAYERS FROM FOOTING THE BILL. THE VALUE OF THESE SERVICE HOURS DON'T MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF GENERALLY REPORTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES TO BE REPORTED AS REVENUE ON DAV'S FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOR THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE GUIDELINES FOR THE FORM 990. THROUGH THE PROGRAM, DAV VOLUNTEERS PROVIDE SERVICES TO OUR NATION'S HEROES AT VA MEDICAL CENTERS, COMMUNITY LIVING CENTERS AND CLINICS. VOLUNTEERS OFFER MEANINGFUL EXPERIENCES AND ASSIST VETERANS IN LIVING HEALTHY AND FULFILLED LIVES. ON TOP OF THAT, DAV CHAPTERS AND DAV AUXILIARY UNITS CUMULATIVELY BROUGHT IN NEARLY $2.6 MILLION IN DONATIONS TO VA HEALTH CARE FACILITIES' VOLUNTEER INITIATIVES IN 2020. STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES - THE LOCAL VETERANS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (LVAP) WAS ESTABLISHED TO FACILITATE AND RECOGNIZE INITIATIVES IN WHICH VOLUNTEERS CAN CONTRIBUTE THEIR SERVICES, TALENTS, PROFESSIONAL ABILITIES AND TIME IN WAYS THAT BENEFIT VETERANS RESIDING WITHIN THE VOLUNTEERS' LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THE PROGRAM EMPOWERS INDIVIDUALS TO FIND AND DEVELOP NEW AND UNIQUE WAYS TO SUPPORT THE SERVICE AND SACRIFICE OF VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES. BY PROVIDING RESOURCES OR ASSISTANCE WITH EVERYDAY NEEDS, VOLUNTEERS ALLOW THESE HEROES AND THEIR FAMILIES TO ENJOY THE BEST POSSIBLE QUA
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS	EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM (CONT) DAV IS AN ORGANIZATION OF VETERANS SERVING VETERANS. SOMETIMES, THE SHARED EXPERIENCES ARE ALL IT TAKES TO REMIND VETERANS THEY ARE NOT ALONE AND THAT THERE IS A NEXT CHAPTER IN THEIR LIFE. DAV FULLY UNDERSTANDS THAT RECOVERY FROM SERIOUS INJURY OR ILLNESS CANNOT BE COMPLETE UNTIL A VETERAN CAN FIND MEANING IN LIFE AND REGAIN A SENSE OF PURPOSE. FOR THOSE WHO ARE ABLE, WORKING TO CARE AND PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES IS A KEY PART OF THAT JOURNEY. EACH YEAR, THOUSANDS OF MEN AND WOMEN MAKE THE TRANSITION FROM MILITARY TO CIVILIAN LIFE. DAV REMAINS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING VALUABLE RESOURCES TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED, HELPING ENSURE THAT THESE VETERANS GAIN ACCESS TO THE TOOLS AND OPPORTUNITIES THEY NEED TO COMPETITIVELY ENTER THE JOB MARKET AND SECURE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. PARTNERING TO HELP VETERANS - WHETHER IT'S UNEMPLOYMENT OR UNDEREMPLOYMENT, DAV REALIZES THE CHALLENGES THAT MANY VETERANS FACE IN PURSUING REWARDING CAREERS. ESTABLISHED IN 2014, THE DAV NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM HAS FIRMLY POSITIONED ITSELF AS THE LEADER AMONG NONPROFITS PROVIDING ASSISTANCE TO TRANSITIONING MILITARY MEMBERS, VETERANS AND THEIR SPOUSES SEEKING NEW OR BETTER JOBS. A PRIMARY COMPONENT OF THIS MISSION IS OUR STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH RECRUITMILITARY, A FULL-SERVICE, MILITARY-TO-CIVILIAN RECRUITING FIRM WHO HOSTS NATIONWIDE IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL CAREER FAIRS THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE TO ALL WHO SERVED AND THEIR SPOUSES. ADDITIONALLY, DAV USES A MULTITUDE OF ONLINE AND TRADITIONAL RESOURCES TO CONNECT EMPLOYERS, FRANCHISERS AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS WITH ACTIVE-DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS, GUARD AND RESERVE PERSONNEL, VETERANS AND SPOUSES. IN JUST OVER SIX YEARS, DAV HAS UNQUESTIONABLY MADE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF UNEMPLOYED AND UNDEREMPLOYED VETERANS. IN 2021, DAV'S STEADFAST EFFORTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH OUR PARTNERSHIP TO PRESENT IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL CAREER FAIRS NATIONWIDE THAT ENSURE VETERANS HAVE ACCESS TO THESE LIFE-CHANGING EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. AS A NATION, WE ENDURED UNPRECEDENTED TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR, BUT SERVICE-DISABLED VETERANS ESPECIALLY WERE AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, CAUSING A DRAMATIC SPIKE IN UNEMPLOYMENT THAT CONTINUES TO BE A MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR SO MANY. IN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC CHANGING THE LANDSCAPE ON A DAILY BASIS, WE ARE PLEASED TO NOTE THAT IN MID-MARCH, WE WERE ABLE TO QUICKLY PIVOT OUR IN-PERSON JOB FAIRS TO A FULL SCHEDULE OF VIRTUAL JOB FAIRS. IN DOING SO, THIS CREATED POSITIVE CONTINUITY AND A VIABLE PATH FORWARD FOR JOB-SEEKING VETERANS TO ENGAGE WITH MANY PARTICIPATING COMPANIES ON THE ROAD TO SECURING MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. RESOURCES FOR JOB SEEKERS, EMPLOYERS - LAST YEAR, DAV WORKED DIRECTLY WITH MORE THAN 300 COMPANIES SEEKING THE MANY TALENTS AND SKILLS VETERANS POSSESS. OUR PROGRAM PROVIDES NUMEROUS 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 CONSTANTLY EVOLVING EMPLOYMENT WEBSITE CONTINUES TO GROW A MULTITUDE OF EMPLOYMENT, ENTREPRENEURIAL AND EDUCATIONAL CONTENT AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO THE THOUSANDS WHO ACCESS IT MONTHLY. THROUGH EFFORTS STARTED IN 2017, WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR ASSISTANCE THROUGH THE CREATION OF 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 HAVE BECOME MORE AND MORE COMMON. DAV INITIALLY RELEASED THE GUIDE IN 2018, BUT DUE TO SOME UPDATES AND THE GUIDE'S IMPORTANCE, IT WAS RE-RELEASED IN OCTOBER 2019 AND HAD NEARLY 60,000 VIEWS OF THE FREE DIGITAL VERSION IN THE FIRST TWO MONTHS ALONE. WITH OUR HIRING GUIDE AND DIRECT ENGAGEMENT, DAV CONTINUES TO PROVIDE COMPANIES, HIRING MANAGERS OR OTHER HUMAN RESOURCES PROFESSIONALS A SOLUTION-ORIENTED PRACTICAL AND STRATEGIC APPROACH TO HIRING AND RETAINING VETERANS WITH DISABILITIES. IN ADDITION TO HELPING VETERANS AND THEIR SPOUSES SECURE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT, DAV CONTINUED ADVANCING OUR EFFORT TO PROVIDE SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE TO SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESSES THROUGH OUR CONTINUED INVOLVEMENT WITH PROGRAMS LIKE THE INSTITUTE OF VETERANS & MILITARY FAMILIES OR PATRIOT BOOTCAMP (PBC). IN FACT, IN OCTOBER 2020, DAV PARTNERED WITH PBC TO CO-HOST A VIRTUAL VETERAN AND MILITARY SPOUSE ENTREPRENEURSHIP EVENT WITH NEARLY 50 PARTICIPANTS ALONG WITH A FULL CADRE OF MENTORS AND BUSINESS LEADERS PROVIDING FIRST-RATE SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE TO THESE UP-AND-COMING SMALL BUSINESSES. LASTLY, DAV CONTINUED ITS ONGOING PARTNERSHIP WITH "HIRING AMERICA," THE FOREMOST VOICE IN TELEVISED PROGRAMS DEDICATED SOLELY TO HELPING VETERANS SECURE MEANINGFUL EMPLOYMENT. EACH EPISODE FEATURES COMPANIES WITH OUTSTANDING VETERAN-HIRING INITIATIVES; SHARES INSIGHTS FROM BUSINESS LEADERS, CAREER COUNSELORS AND HUMAN RESOURCES SPECIALISTS; AND PROVIDES VALUABLE INFORMATION TO HELP EASE THE TRANSITION FOR VETERANS ENTERING THE CIVILIAN WORKFORCE. WITH THE PROGRAM'S 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-DUTY SERVICE MEMBERS, GUARD AND RESERVE PERSONNEL, VETERANS AND SPOUSES WHO ARE SEEKING EMPLOYMENT, AS WELL AS THE COMPANIES THAT WANT TO HIRE THEM. EXPENSES $1,121,220 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, LinkedIn and Instagram. On Facebook, DAV provides daily information to more than 1.4 million followers, and in 2020, DAV's posts received more than 136,000 impressions each day. On Twitter, DAV has more than 100,000 followers and DAV's content on Twitter achieved a 16% increase in click-through rate versus 2019. Also, DAV tweets were seen by more than 5.6 million individuals, an increase of 20% over the year prior. Engagement on Twitter was also up by 41% compared to 2019. DAV's Instagram profile surpassed the 53,000-follower threshold, representing a 23% increase from 2019. DAV's Instagram posts reached over 7 million users in 2020. With a continued strategic emphasis on the growth of DAV's LinkedIn presence, our following grew to over 96,000 users, which highlights an astounding 75% increase from 2019. DAV content surpassed 3 million impressions on LinkedIn, marking an 82% increase over 2019. To ensure America's fallen veterans and service members were not forgotten on Memorial Day in the wake of COVID-19, the DAV Honor Wall Mosaic was launched digitally to bring together the military and veteran communities. Users were invited to honor a service member who died as a result of their service to the nation by adding a photo and message of remembrance to the interactive mosaic. The program saw over 19,000 sessions on its site and over 1,200 submissions. It was promoted through social and earned media efforts, generating over 5 million impressions. 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 2020, the organization's official website was visited more than 3.3 million times and received nearly 6.5 million page views. DAV is always looking for new and exciting partnerships to help us reach more veterans and their families. In 2020, DAV maintained a consistent presence online through digital placements and editorial content across top-tier publishers such as YouTube, USA Today, Hearst, Military.com and Military Times. An ABC partnership continued for its fifth consecutive year and included significant exposure for DAV through an integrated TV, radio, online and social media program. The relationship with ESPN and the Ultimate Fighting Championship continued for the second year, including custom video content, special DAV shoutouts and recognition during two broadcast pay-per-view events and social media promotion around DAV's centennial and Veterans Day. All in all, the digital and national media campaigns generated over 692 million impressions and 15 million video views. DAV's centennial was a momentous occasion that was marked in part with an hour long documentary, "The Battle Never Ends." The film is narrated by Marine Corps legend Dale Dye and highlights the origins of DAV and its accomplishments throughout the past century. Through a partnership with the HISTORY Channel, the documentary premiered around the Veterans Day time frame and included additional airings across the Military HISTORY Channel. The partnership included broadcast and online promotion, social and earned media support, as well as a continued on-demand placement through April 2021. The full-length documentary can also be found on DAV's official website at dav.org/learn-more/media. The partnership has resulted in over 10 million impressions and nearly 130,000 video views. 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 $9,430,025 including grants of $7,600. Revenue $0. 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 4,500 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 more than 1,200 chapters nationwide, we closed the 2019-2020 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 $5,244,617 including grants of $0. Revenue $0. LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM: From its inception, DAV has been a leader in the development and strengthening of federal programs, benefits, health care and transition services for the men and women who served, their families and survivors. Our advocacy efforts are guided by DAV members through the adoption of legislative and policy resolutions at our national convention. With the strength of more than 1 million members, DAV is able to routinely influence and improve federal laws approved by Congress and federal regulations and policies of the Department of Veterans Affairs and other federal agencies affecting ill and injured veterans. In 2020, DAV again played a major role in the development, approval and implementation of federal legislation to strengthen programs that support ill and injured veterans, making significant progress toward achieving each of our five Critical Policy Goals for the year. Although our legislative program accounted for less than 1% of the organization's total expenditures, we were able to leverage those resources-thanks to the active support of DAV's nationwide network of grassroots members and supporters-to advance our priorities and achieve more victories for veterans. At the 2020 DAV Mid-Winter Conference in Washington, D.C., nearly 500 of DAV's leading advocates assembled to kick off our grassroots campaign to advance our legislative priorities for the year: full and timely benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances, enhanced benefits for survivors of disabled veterans, full and faithful implementation of the VA MISSION Act, strengthened veterans mental health care and suicide prevention programs, and enactment of legislation to address gaps and inequities for women veterans. Expenses $1,987,88
FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4D, OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES (CONT)	PUBLIC AWARENESS OUTREACH: When our heroes return home from military service, many struggle to regain a sense of normalcy. They must start the long and often difficult process of healing and rehabilitation so that they can begin to rebuild the lives they once knew. They must find jobs and often housing, as well as relearn how to relate to their families after having been away for long periods of time. Accessing basic health services can be daunting. That's why DAV is here to help them every step of the way. Too many of our wounded, ill and injured veterans haven't accessed the benefits and services they've earned. Most simply aren't aware of their rights and benefits or the free help our National Service Program can provide with filing for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs and other government agencies. Neither are they aware of the wide range of other programs we offer to wounded, ill and injured veterans and their families. This program supplements the outreach efforts already built into our other program services. It offers the American public an even greater opportunity to become personally involved in identifying and assisting the men and women who have served our nation. In 2020, $23.9 million was spent on this large-scale outreach effort-an investment that's making a real difference in the lives of veterans and their families. Expenses $23,856,630 including grants of $0. Revenue $40,259. Public Service Announcement Program: In 2020, DAV's mission of service to all veterans was front and center in our national and local placements, thanks to our public service announcement campaign. Television, print, radio and out-of-home messages helped raise awareness of the programs and free services we provide to veterans and their families. These timely and inspiring messages also raised public awareness of DAV and the service, sacrifices and needs of those we serve. In the increasingly busy and competitive ad spaces of network radio, television and other media, DAV stood tall during a time when it was critical for veterans to know about resources available to them. In 2020, our program generated $70 million in estimated donated media value. This program relies on donated media from television, radio, print, outdoor and transit outlets. The widespread media exposure resulted in more than 9.7 billion impressions, representing 12% growth over 2019. This was made possible through extensive outreach, relationship building and cultivation with top media outlets, and it includes support from national television networks ABC and CBS as well as national and regional print placements in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, AARP and First for Women. The Victories for Veterans campaign, first released in 2016, is now in its third iteration to continue inspiring veterans to overcome challenges and achieve personal victories while emphasizing the life-changing services DAV provides to veterans and their families at no cost. As the gap between our military and civilian populations continues to widen, these messages help to serve as testaments to an American public too often unaware of the sacrifices of men and women in uniform To view or download DAV's public service messages, visit davpsa.org. Expenses $926,751 including grants of $0. Revenue $0. RELIEF ASSISTANCE AND PROGRAM GRANTS: VETERANS DISABLED IN WARTIME SERVICE ARE PARTICULARLY VULNERABLE WHEN A CATASTROPHE STRIKES. DAV OPERATES AN EFFECTIVE PROGRAM THAT DELIVERS DIRECT GRANTS TO HELP VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN TIMES OF NEED, AS WELL AS RESOURCES TO FUND STATE-LEVEL SERVICES. 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. DURING 2020, DAV PROVIDED $901,000 TO MORE THAN 1,200 VETERANS AFFECTED BY NATURAL DISASTERS, INCLUDING HURRICANES, TORNADOS, FLOODS AND FIRES IN ALABAMA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, LOUISIANA, MICHIGAN, MINNESOTA, MISSISSIPPI, NORTH CAROLINA, OHIO, OKLAHOMA, OREGON, PUERTO RICO, TENNESSEE, TEXAS AND VIRGINIA. AS THE COMMERCE OF OUR NATION GRINDED TO A HALT AMID THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, MANY DISABLED VETERANS WERE FINDING THEMSELVES SUDDENLY UNEMPLOYED AND UNABLE TO PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. FOR OUR NATION'S 4.7 MILLION DISABLED VETERANS, THE CORONAVIRUS CREATED A UNIQUE SET OF CHALLENGES-NOT ONLY DID SERVICE-CONNECTED ILLNESSES PLACE THESE INDIVIDUALS IN A HIGHER RISK CATEGORY, BUT MANY ALSO FACED A DIRE FINANCIAL SITUATION DUE TO LOST INCOME. WHILE THE DISASTER RELIEF PROGRAM NORMALLY OPERATES IN REACTION TO NATURAL DISASTERS, COVID-19 DEMANDED A PROACTIVE EXPANSION ONCE THE SCALE OF ITS EFFECTS WAS RECOGNIZED. THOUSANDS OF DISABLED VETERANS WERE IN NEED, AND DAV STEPPED IN TO HELP BY ESTABLISHING THE COVID-19 UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF FUND IN APRIL 2020. THE RELIEF FUND PROVIDED A ONE-TIME FINANCIAL AID PAYMENT TO SERVICE-CONNECTED DISABLED VETERANS WHO LOST EMPLOYMENT OR INCOME IN THE WAKE OF THE VIRUS'S OUTBREAK. IN 2020, ALMOST $2 MILLION IN COVID-19 UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF WAS DISTRIBUTED NATIONWIDE TO NEARLY 8,000 VETERANS IN NEED. SINCE THE DISASTER RELIEF PROGRAM'S INCEPTION IN 1968, NEARLY $16 MILLION HAS BEEN DISBURSED AS A RESULT OF OUR RELIEF EFFORTS. EXPENSES $7,075,017 INCLUDING GRANTS OF $7,069,229. REVENUE $0.
