Overview
Mission
The Northern Virginia Veterans Association is a non-profit that personally coordinates services for our most vulnerable veterans and spouses at no cost to a vast system of community resources addressing needs that support their quality of life. Many of our veterans are challenged and cannot access recommended services that are available online or through other means. This may be due to a variety of factors such as old age physical or mental health conditions lack of IT skills and or devices or general inability to function at a sufficient level. We provide personal on-going support and follow up to ensure our most vulnerable veterans receive the care and services they have earned and deserve. We case manage around any service needed including VA Claims Healthcare Transportation Caregiving Shelter Housing Hospice Legal Finance Employment Recreation and others.

The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
