Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

WE ARE DEDICATED TO ONE SINGLE PURPOSE: EMPOWERING VETERANS TO LEAD HIGH-QUALITY LIVES WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY. SEE SCHEDULE O FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

Activities or mission (Part I)

SINCE 1920, EMPOWERING VETERANS TO LEAD HIGH-QUALITY LIVES WITH RESPECT AND DIGNITY.

  • SERVICE PROGRAM: Our National Service Program features more than 100 offices nationwide and includes a robust corps of national and transition service officers who stand ready to offer advice and represent veterans in their claims for the benefits they have earned in service to us all. (SEE SCHEDULE O)

    Expenses $38,527,184 · Grants $80,000

  • 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. (SEE SCHEDULE O)

    Expenses $27,673,945 · Revenue $40,467

  • 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. (SEE SCHEDULE O)

    Expenses $9,732,921

  • SEE SCHEDULE O

    Expenses $24,325,806 · Grants $7,156,640 · Revenue $3,870,445

As filed on the 2022 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

The filer's explanations (Part III)

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 2022, 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 2022, 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 2022, ANDREW MARSHALL, DAV NATIONAL COMMANDER (JANUARY-JULY), RECEIVED $133,065 AND JOSEPH PARSETICH, DAV NATIONAL COMMANDER (AUGUST-DECEMBER), RECEIVED $91,935 FOR SUCH PAYMENTS.
