Annually, the organization provides more than 600,000 rides to veterans attending medical appointments and assists veterans with well over 200,000 benefit claims. In 2019, DAV helped veterans receive more than $21 billion in earned benefits. DAV’s services are offered at no cost to all generations of veterans, their families and survivors.

"DAV is also a leader in connecting veterans with meaningful employment, hosting job fairs and providing resources to ensure they have the opportunity to participate in the American Dream their sacrifices have made possible.

Charity name: Disabled American Veterans

How does this organization help others?:

We are dedicated to a single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. We accomplish this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America’s injured heroes on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.

This mission is carried forward by:
  • Providing free, professional assistance to veterans and their families in obtaining benefits and services earned through
  military service and provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other agencies of government.

  • Providing outreach concerning its program services to the American people generally, and to disabled veterans and
  their families specifically.

  • Representing the interests of disabled veterans, their families, their widowed spouses and their orphans before
  Congress, the White House and the Judicial Branch, as well as state and local government.

  • Extending DAV’s mission of hope into the communities where these veterans and their families live through a network
  of state-level Departments and local Chapters.

  • Providing a structure through which disabled veterans can express their compassion for their fellow veterans through
  a variety of volunteer programs
