We accomplish this by making sure 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. 0 0 44424822 5038982 NATIONAL SERVICE PROGRAM: In 110 offices throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico, the DAV employs a corps of approximately 250 National Service Officers (NSO's) and 30 Transition Service Officers (TSO's) who directly and tirelessly represent veterans and their families with claims for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense and other government agencies. Veterans need not be DAV members to take advantage of this outstanding assistance, which is provided free of charge. Between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2011, our NSOs and TSOs, all wartime veterans themselves, represented more than 215,000 veterans and their families in their claims for VA benefits. See Schedule O for further details.The Board of Veterans' Appeals (BVA) is the highest appellate body within the VA responsible for decisions concerning entitlement to veterans benefits. About 96 percent of the claims before the Board involve disability compensation issues. Our highly skilled National Appeals Officers serve appellants in the preparation of written briefs for BVA review and conduct formal hearings before Veterans Law Judges. We maintain the largest staff of any advocacy group, representing more than 30 percent of all cases decided by the BVA in 2011.DAV continues its pro bono representation program for veterans seeking review in the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. In fiscal 2010-11, the BVA took action on more than 14,000 cases involving DAV clients. Each and every one of those cases was reviewed to identify those in which a veterans' claim was improperly denied. Thanks to DAV, more than 600 of these cases were appealed to the court. While we are still working toward our goal of appealing each and every worthy case, it is hard to believe that just a few years ago, we had yet to crack the 200-case per year mark.Service members making the transition back to civilian life must overcome many obstacles, and we provide programs that address their overall health and well-being. DAV participates in Transition Assistance and Disabled Transition Assistance programs. Our TSOs provide benefits counseling and assistance to service members filing initial claims for VA benefits at more than 100 military installations throughout the country. By filing compensation claims at separation centers where service medical records and examination facilities are readily available, we are able to provide prompt service to these future veterans. Over the last year, our TSOs conducted 3,974 formal presentations to 74,858 transitioning servicemembers. During that same time they filed 21,947 claims for VA benefits. Counsel and representation for active duty servicemembers during their transition was provided through the military's Disability Evaluation System. The Mobile Service Office Program continues to reach out to veterans in their own communities. Not all veterans are willing or able to visit a DAV office due to distance, transportation, health or other reasons. By putting our service offices on the road, assisting veterans where they live, DAV is increasing their accessibility to benefits. During 2011, our MSOs traveled more than 124,778 miles, visiting 811 cities and towns. Our NSOs interviewed 18,020 veterans and other potential claimants. The NSO's also participate in other outreach efforts such as Homeless Veteran Initiatives, Employment Programs and Women Veterans Outreach Programs.VOLUNTARY SERVICE PROGRAM: DAV operates an extensive network of programs through which dedicated volunteers provide a variety of services to America's heroes. One of the largest of these programs is our nationwide Transportation Network, through which volunteers drive injured and ill veterans to and from VA medical facilities for treatment. This program fills a substantial community need as the federal government terminated its program that helped many veterans pay for transportation to VA medical facilities. More than 190 Hospital Service Coordinators manage the transportation needs of veterans to and from nearly every VA medical center in the country. In 2011, 101 vans were added to the Transportation Network. Since 1987, 2,469 vans have been purchased by the National Organization, Chapters, Departments and the National Service Foundation Columbia Trust at a cost of $53,680,312. These vans have all been donated to VA hospitals for use in the Transportation Network. DAV and Auxiliary volunteers and a growing number of generous nonmembers provided 1,911,896 million hours and drove 27,330,295 miles, to provide free rides to 712,687 veterans. The value of these contributed services is reported as revenue on DAV's financial statements prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, but is not recorded as revenue on this Form 990 in accordance with Internal Revenue Service guidelines. Volunteers also contributed an additional 204,130 hours of service to veterans at VA hospitals, clinics and nursing homes through the VA Voluntary Service (VAVS) program in 2011. STATE SERVICE AND DISASTER RELIEF PROGRAMS: The DAV conducts a program under which direct grants are provided to needy disabled veterans and their families, as well as a program to fund state level services to these veterans and families. When disaster strikes, National Service Officers are dispatched to the affected area to provide monetary assistance, conduct benefit counseling and to offer referral sources. We provided disaster relief grants in the aftermath of natural disasters and emergencies in various areas around the nation to help veterans and their families secure temporary lodging, food and other necessities. During 2011, almost $76,000 in grants was disbursed to flood, tornado and hurricane victims. Since the program's inception in 1968, $8,838,306 has been disbursed.We help fund services that our state-level Departments provide to veterans and their families. In some cases, these Department programs extend, supplement or dovetail services we provide through our nationwide programs. In other cases, Departments have created entirely new programs to meet the unique needs of veterans in their states. Grants to Departments under this program totaled $3,870,412 in 2011. 5050113 PUBLICATIONS & COMMUNICATIONS: DAV uses a variety of tools, such as videos, DAV Magazine, social media and public service announcements to educate the public about how our mission of service and advocacy have empowered our wounded heroes and their families to take back their lives, return to normalcy and, ultimately, live a high-quality life. 5157690 5259093 MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM: The National Membership Department delivers a variety of services to maintain a large, strong and active member base. By coordinating and extending our mission into communities where veterans and their families live, DAV members promote an agenda for the well-being of America's veterans and their families. With 52 state-level Departments and more than 1,536 Chapters nationwide, we closed the 2010/2011 membership year with almost 1.2 million injured and ill wartime veterans. 23213024 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM: The DAV's National Legislative Department is engaged in a number of efforts to improve, advance and protect interests of disabled veterans, their families, widowed spouses, and surviving children in the legislative and public policy arena. Through direct contact with legislators, congressional testimony, and ongoing, concentrated grassroots lobbying, the DAV strives to be the voice of America's wartime disabled veterans. No funds from charitable contributions are used to cover the expenses of the DAV's Legislative Program, with the exception of contributions donated explicitly to fund legislative efforts. All other legislative operations are funded from membership dues. During 2011, $1.7 million was spent on legislative activities. PUBLIC AWARENESS OUTREACH: The men and women returning home from service face obstacles most people can't fathom in their daily lives. They must find jobs in a difficult economy, relearn how to relate to their families after having been away for long periods of time or find housing. Accessing basic and needed health services can be daunting. As many veterans struggle to regain a sense of normalcy, they must start the long and often difficult process of healing and rehabilitation so that they can begin to rebuild the lives they once knew. And DAV is here to help them every step of the way. Too many of our wounded heroes need federal benefits and services they've earned but haven't used. Generally, these veterans aren't aware of their rights and benefits or the free help our National Service Program can provide with filing for VA and other government benefits. Further, many aren't aware of the wide range of other programs we offer for disabled veterans and their families. In a nontraditional approach, the Public Awareness Outreach Program asks our donors to help identify those veterans and put them in contact with us. In 2011, $21.5 million was spent on this large-scale outreach effort, an investment that's making a real difference in the lives of veterans and their families. This program supplements the outreach efforts already built into our other program services. It offers the American public an even greater opportunity to become personally involved in identifying and assisting those men and women who have served our nation. 23213024 77845649 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 133 0 701 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 7 6 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AK AZ AR CT FL GA HI KS ME MD MN NH NJ NM NY NC OH OK OR PA RI TN TX UT VA WA WV X X Marc Burgess 8594417300 3725 Alexandria Pike Cold Spring KY 41076 Robert Barrera 5.00 X 6883 0 0 Wallace Tyson 5.00 X 92256 0 0 Donald Samuels 5.00 X 94362 0 0 Larry Polzin 5.00 X 12347 0 0 Rodney Tucker 5.00 X 9082 0 0 Delphine Metcalf-Foster 5.00 X 7009 0 0 Jay E Johnson 5.00 X 4983 0 0 Davis Lorren 5.00 X 7421 0 0 Joseph Lenhart 5.00 X 1466 0 0 Tim Timmerman 5.00 X 1024 0 0 Arthur Wilson 40.00 X X 281311 0 72208 J Marc Burgess 40.00 X 154066 0 109119 David Gorman 40.00 X 198975 0 9155 Barry Jesinoski 40.00 X 262565 0 83885 Christopher Clay 40.00 X 198366 0 127524 Anita Blum 40.00 X 162355 0 92371 Garry Augustine 40.00 X 137360 0 102998 William Saunders 40.00 X 140329 0 20129 Joseph Violante 40.00 X 138252 0 112268 1910412 0 729657 30 0 1 0 Kelly Services Inc PO Box 530437 Atlanta GA 303530437 Temporary services 645598 Oxford Global Resources Inc PO Box 3256 Boston MA 022413256 Temporary services 559154 Creative Direct Response 16900 Science Drive Bowie MD 20715 Consulting 374077 Comunicad 1530 Wilson Blvd Suite 860 Alexandria VA 22209 Consulting 302000 Adecco Employment Services PO Box 371084 Pittsburgh PA 152507084 Temporary services 280706 15 103466734 331871 103466734 Membership Dues 900099 5259093 5259093 5259093 9819446 9819446 557521 557521 291914937 278931602 12983335 12983335 12983335 Other Revenue 900099 70352 70352 70352 132156481 5259093 0 23430654 4884132 4884132 154850 154850 1307317 1071632 235685 95250 95250 28224885 24399262 1644245 2181378 3867457 2876586 471918 518953 12712577 10805733 704207 1202637 2311543 1996464 134287 180792 187503 57749 129754 123035 123035 364393 364393 180000 180000 51981 51981 3557052 1598634 1446955 511463 213251 163515 49736 48267149 22301109 421836 25544204 63240 40532 21460 1248 2439955 987235 1033 1451687 724789 428427 296362 1382002 1318333 44266 19403 1119312 1119312 1592217 1038820 269495 283902 387980 312406 57648 17926 Relocation 1293520 1277636 15884 0 Other Expenses 898427 507584 382595 8248 Training 116205 70305 35471 10429 Project Costs 71000 71000 0 0 116591022 77845649 6287005 32458368 X 47809865 21514439 0 26295426 6320849 8607929 1145674 980805 1438917 1539896 3211372 2140997 33363276 26606185 7529688 6757091 373234498 368467540 482400 417400 393363398 388911658 20532464 26801253 3783621 3702418 109587612 122000757 133903697 152504428 X 259459701 236407230 0 0 259459701 236407230 393363398 388911658 X 15565459 -38617930 X 0 1 1 X 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 467464 467464 7005995 5149791 1856204 4182636 2701946 1480690 21704751 18754448 2950303 2430 2430 6757091 Reserve for Life Membership Dues 54851984 Post Retirement Benefit Obligation 66105493 Other Liabilities 1043280 122000757 132156481 116591022 15565459 -18762707 -19855223 -38617930 -23052471 174756087 42651587 42651587 132104500 51981 51981 132156481 159190628 42651587 42651587 116539041 51981 51981 116591022 Description of Uncertain Tax Positions Under FIN 48: Part X: ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.

procedure for monitoring the use of grants varies depending on the type of grant. For grants to DAV Departments, every department is required to submit an annual financial report to DAV for approval. Review of annual financial reports allows DAV to monitor the proper use of funds grants by DAV and to ensure good standing for continued eligibility. Expenses for the National Veterans Winter Sports Clinic and Van Program are sent directly to and are paid by DAV (directly to the billing party) when determined that the expense is an acceptable and qualifying cost of the designated program. Scholarship payments towards tuition on behalf of an eligible award recipient are paid directly to the academic institution. The remainder of the grants are made on a good faith basis to reputable organizations with a history of service to disabled veterans.

First-class airfare may be approved considering such factors as: the degree to which the traveler is disabled and the length of the trip. In 2011, four persons listed on Schedule J, Part I, traveled first class for DAV related business. It was not considered taxable income. DAV does not pay for charter travel. Travel for Companions: DAV pays for companions of those traveling on DAV business, but on a very limited basis. Such authorization is only granted when the companion's presence either confers an actual benefit on DAV or provides needed aid and assistance for a significantly disabled DAV traveler. In the case of the DAV traveler requiring aid and assistance, DAV will bear the full expense of the companion and it is not considered taxable income. In all other situations, companion expenses are either reimbursed by the DAV traveler or included in taxable income. In 2011, DAV did not pay for companion travel of any person listed on Schedule J, Part I. Discretionary spending account: During their one-year, nonsuccessive term, DAV pays the National Commander an annual expense allowance prorated from the date of his election to the date of the election of his successor, in an amount approved by the Board of Directors, and reflected in the appropriate minutes. The amount is to cover lodging, meals, and other expenses incurred to serve in this capacity. It is comparable to amounts paid those in similar positions in like organizations and is reported as taxable income on Form 1099. In 2011, Wallace Tyson, DAV National Commander (January to August) received $91,734 and Donald Samuels, DAV National Commander (September to December) received $83,266 for such payments. Part I, Line 7 DAV has a Leadership Incentive Program that offers an additional percentage of annual base salary to about 40 employees - primarily key executives, directors and managers. The award percentage is based on the individual participant's position and the organization's measured success meeting 7 goals - one related to achievement of standard ratios published by the BBB Wise Giving Alliance and 6 based on DAV strategic plan goals. The Program was designed with assistance from an outside, independent consultant and approved by the Board of Directors.
