Overview

Mission

The disabled american veterans auxiliary (dava) has partnered with the disabled american veterans parent organization in their mission of service to disabled veterans and their families. This relationship has continued to flourish and the blended organizations have achieved many victories in their quest to improve the quality of life our veterans rightly deserve. Our members are diverse in their interests which is what made the dava so successful. Our programs include americanism, community service, junior activities, legislative, and va voluntary services. Foremost in our hearts is the goal of assuring benefit entitlement and compassion for our disabled veterans.

What it reported doing in 2017

Direct assistance - payment for food, utilities, medical and other necessary expenses for disabled veterans or their direct relatives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 81% 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.
