Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The Organization's mission is to convene the brightest minds in the veterinary profession and industry together to tackle innovation opportunities that lift up all animal health care segments including caregivers, academia, suppliers, and consumers.

  • The Veterinary Innovation Council (VIC) first convened at the NAVC Conference 2016 in Orlando, Florida in January, 2016. The VIC was formed to act as the first veterinary organization that works industry-wide to focus on positive change and push the envelope for innovative solutions across professional boundaries. The program is currently focused on innovation in the area of Telehealth solutions for veterinary practices. In addition, it gathers data to develop awareness of resources available, success stories and toolkits for implementation, and helps to clarify the legislation around Telehealth. It oversees the Veterinary Entrepreneurship Academy that focuses on partnerships between educational institutions, students, and startups. It also oversees the Veterinary Innovation Summit, a three day conference focused on veterinary innovation. The Summit provides education to interested individuals on innovations impacting the veterinary healthcare community. Part of this event also includes the recognition of selected students for their research and ideas for future innovations to improve animal care. The Summit is typically an annual event.

The first 25 listed. 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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

The four totals the IRS asks for on Part I of the Form 990, as filed. A dash means the figure was not present on the return — not that it was zero.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Not present in the most recent drop.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
