Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF U.S. MILITARY VETERANS AND ALL WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED SPINAL CORD INJURY/DYSFUNCTION THROUGH ADVOCACY FOR PROPER HEALTH CARE, PROMOTION OF SPORTS, EDUCATION, AND COMMUNICATION.

  • PROSTHETICS: OVER THE PAST 12 MONTHS, WE'VE HAD AN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL YEAR. WE RECEIVED A LARGE VOLUME OF SUPPLIES AND MEDICAL EQUIPMENT THAT WE WERE ABLE TO DISTRIBUTE TO MEMBERS, THEIR FAMILIES, VETERANS, AND INDIVIDUALS IN NEED THROUGHOUT THE ARIZONA COMMUNITY.

    Expenses $978,654 · Grants $873,831

  • ADVOCACY: THE CHAPTER SENT A NEW TEAM FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS TO WASHINGTON D.C. EACH YEAR WITH FOLLOW-UP LETTERS AND VISITS, WHEN POSSIBLE, WITH ARIZONA ELECTED OFFICIALS HERE AT HOME.

    Expenses $44,814

  • HOSPITAL AND SERVICES: ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE VA (VETERAN AFFAIRS) MEDICAL CENTERS. WE TRY TO REACH OUT TO NEWLY SPINAL CORD INJURED OR NEUROLOGICALLY IMPAIRED PERSONS AND THEIR FAMILIES TO RE-INTRODUCE THEM BACK INTO SOCIETY THROUGH PERSONAL CONTACT, TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, AND EDUCATION. WE ARE WORKING TO RE-ESTABLISH A REGULAR HOSPITAL VISIT PROGRAM WITH THE DIRECTORS OF ALL THREE HOSPITALS. THE SCI CLINIC IN PRESCOTT HOSPITAL WAS WITHOUT A SOCIAL WORKER UNTIL THE END OF OUR FISCAL YEAR. THE NEW SW IS VERY POSITIVE AND WANTS TO BE INCLUDED IN AZPVA EVENTS. THE PHOENIX HOSPITAL CLINIC CURRENTLY HAS 320 SCI/SCD PATIENTS. MOST OF OUR INROADS TO MEET WITH POTENTIAL MEMBERS HAVE BEEN WITH VISITS TO THE TUCSON AND PHOENIX HOSPITALS AND HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE SPORTS PROGRAMS.

    Expenses $22,777

  • OUTREACH: THE VISITS TO THE TUCSON VA PROVIDED US WITH 2 FEMALE MEMBERS TO REPRESENT THE ARIZONA CHAPTER AT THE NATIONAL PVAS WOMAN'S VETERANS EMPOWERMENT RETREAT. WE WERE ABLE TO GIVE AWAY A ROOF REPAIR TO A DESERVING VETRAN THROUGH A NATIONAL PVA PROGRAM. NEXT ON OUR LIST WAS FINDING TWO MENBERS TO RECEIVE RECYCLED VEHICLES FROM THE NATIONAL AUTOBODY COUNCIL. ONE OF OUR WORTHY MEMBERS RECEIVED A 2012 TOYOTA SIENNA VAN WITH A SIX-WAY POWER SEAT, HAND CONTROLS, AND A POWERLIFT. OUR SECOND MEMBER WAS AWARDED A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WE ALSO GAVE AWAY FOOD BOXES, A BAG OF FRUIT, AND TURKEYS AT THE PHOENIX SCI/D CLINIC. MEMBERSHIP AND BENEFITS: ADDED 23 NEW MEMBERS AND 25 MEMBERS PASSED DURING THE YEAR; ASSISTED VETERANS IN OBTAINING AN AGGREGATE OF APPROXIMATELY 9.9 MILLION IN CASH BENEFITS THROUGH OUR NSO OFFICE.

    Expenses $157,181

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

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.
