Overview

Mission

Build better lives for all our nation's disabled veterans and their families.

What it reported doing in 2024

Chapter 17 disabled american veterans is dedicated to one, single purpose - building better lives for all disabled veterans and their families, especially the central Missouri area. This mission is carried forward by providing assistance to veterans and their families in obtaining benefits and services earned through military service as provided by department of veterans affairs (va), representing the interests of disabled veterans and their families in governmental matters to include supporting programs of the national chapter, and providing service programs to promote the social welfare of chapter members as well as the community in which they live.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 83% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
