| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4 PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS (CONTINUED) | THE DISABLED AMERICAN VETERANS (DAV) Charitable Service Trust is dedicated to one single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. In an effort to fulfill that purpose throughout the nation, the Trust awards grant funds to nonprofit organizations with programs or services that benefit service members of every era. The Trust generally supports initiatives that provide the following: - Food, shelter, and other necessary items; - Mobility items or assistance specific to individuals with blindness or vision loss; hearing loss; or amputations; - Qualified Therapeutic or recreational activities; - Physical or psychological rehabilitation; - Education, training and career-readiness; and - Other forms of direct assistance as appropriate for short or long-term relief for veterans, caregivers and/or their families. Though the specific needs of veterans from each era may vary, the Trust has supported veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injuries, substance abuse ISSUES, amputations, spinal cord injuries, and other physical or mental afflictions. Grant funds have allowed for veterans to secure meaningful employment, healthcare, housing, food, education, camaraderie, and overall support for the many challenges that service members face upon returning from combat. Through financial assistance grants, the Trust enables organizations to sustain quality programming to millions of veterans and dependents each year. |
| FORM 990, PART VI, SECTION B, LINE 15 COMPENSATION REVIEW PROCESS | IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ORGANIZATION'S Bylaws, there is no compensation paid to Officers or Directors. In 2023, the Board of Directors reaffirmed its policy that authorizes a per diem be paid to Directors and Officers whose duties require their attendance at Board of Directors meetings or such other events where they serve as representatives of or travel on business for the Trust. The President does not receive compensation for services rendered in conjunction with his position and exercises supervision over the Trust's affairs in accordance with policies, decisions and mandates of the Board. As all the members of the Board are volunteers, the Board has contracted with Disabled American Veterans (DAV) to utilize the services of a DAV employee to serve as the Administrator of the Trust. The Trust reimbursed the DAV $45,729.53 in 2023 for those services. The Administrator assists the President and other officers in the implementation of Board directives. She also ensures that the President and board members are kept fully abreast of even routine matters so that they may fully carry out their responsibilities. |
