TSO's filed 18,088 claims for VA benefits and connected veterans with other services. -MSO's traveled 104,662 miles to 879 cities to interview 17,769 veterans and potential claimants.-DAV represents more than 1 million veterans before the VA.See schedule O for continuation. SERVICE PROGRAM (cont.):In more than 100 offices throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico, we employ a corps of about 277 National Service Officers (NSOs) and 33 Transition Service Officers (TSOs) who counsel and represent veterans and their families with claims for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense and other government agencies.DAV's National Service Program represents more than 1 million veterans before the VA. Veterans need not be members to take advantage of our assistance, which is provided at no cost or obligation to them. DAV truly is an organization of veterans helping veterans, as all our service officers incurred injury or illness related to their wartime service. NSOs function as attorneys-in-fact, assisting veterans and their families in filing claims for VA disability compensation; rehabilitation and education programs; pensions; death benefits; and employment and training programs. They provide free services such as information seminars and counseling, and community outreach activities through the Mobile Service Office (MSO) Program and other opportunities to educate and inform veterans on the benefits they've earned. NSOs also represent veterans and active-duty military personnel before Discharge Review Boards, Boards for Correction of Military Records, Physical Evaluation Boards, the Disability Transition Assistance Program, the Transition Assistance Program and other official panels.For service members making the all-important transition to civilian life, 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 nearly 100 military installations throughout the country. DAV continues its pro bono representation program for veterans seeking review in the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. DAV currently works with two law firms that are highly accomplished in dealing with veterans' issues at the court. In fiscal year 2015, the BVA took action on more than 15,600 cases involving DAV clients. These were cases reviewed to identify those in which a veteran's claim was improperly denied. Thanks to DAV and our relationship with private law firms, 1,660 of these cases previously denied by the BVA were appealed to the court, at no cost to the veterans. The MSO Program continues to seek new venues to bring DAV service to veterans and dependents in their own communities. The MSO extends our assistance to veterans who might not be able to visit a Service Office due to distance, transportation, health or other reasons. By putting our Service Offices on the road and assisting veterans where they live, DAV is increasing veterans' accessibility to benefits. In 2015, the DAV MSO program continued to focus on conducting site visits at colleges and universities throughout the nation. Some colleges and universities visited include the University of South Florida, The Ohio State University, Western Nevada College and the University of Montana. With 10 specially equipped mobile offices visiting communities across the country, this outreach effort generates a considerable amount of claims work from veterans who may not otherwise have the opportunity to seek assistance at our National Service Offices.

STATE SERVICES AND DISASTER RELIEF: In 2015, these efforts resulted in roughly 390 supply kits and 394 payments totaling more than $330,000 to be provided to service-injured or ill veterans, service members and their families in need of relief. Grants to Departments under the State Services program totaled $4,189,824 in 2015.When disaster strikes, DAV Service Officers and members deploy into devastated areas, enabling DAV to provide much-needed monetary assistance, conduct benefits counseling and offer referral services for veterans, service members and their families in need. Our disaster relief program provides 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. They have been used at Ground Zero following the attacks on the World Trade Center, around the Gulf Coast following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and most recently in Alaska, Illinois, South Carolina, Georgia, Nebraska, Kentucky, Alabama, Oklahoma, California, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas and Kansas following fires, tornadoes and flooding. Supply kits-which include backpacks, blankets and hygiene kits-are provided as an additional resource for safety, comfort and self-sufficiency in an extended emergency, disaster or evacuation. The hygiene kit includes basic necessities like a toothbrush and toothpaste, razors and shaving cream, hand sanitizer, deodorant, shampoo and soap. Since the program's inception in 1968, more than $9.7 million has been disbursed to victims.DAV also helps 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.Expenses $5,305,810 including grants of $5,304,618. Revenue $ 0. 2372439 982077 0 VOLUNTARY SERVICES PROGRAM: By providing veterans with transportation to medical appointments, coordinating in-hospital volunteer opportunities and encouraging and supporting efforts to honor the sacrifices of disabled veterans, DAV enhances the quality of life of veterans, their families and survivors.-In 2015, volunteers traveled 24,727,577 miles, providing 711,688 rides to veterans and donating 1,648,947 hours of their time.-The value of volunteer hours and services amounted to more than $42 million. -To incentivize youth volunteers, DAV awarded $75,000 through its scholarship program. See schedule O for continuation.VOLUNTARY SERVIVES PROGRAM (cont.):Volunteerism is the cornerstone of DAV's mission of empowering veterans to lead high-quality and fulfilled lives. Our thousands of dedicated volunteers across the country help us to provide the best possible care, morale and assistance to our nation's heroes. DAV's Transportation Network is one of the country's largest voluntary transportation programs. This unique program provides vehicles and volunteers throughout the country to transport veterans to and from their VA medical appointments. The program is managed by 190 Hospital Service Coordinators located at 197 VA medical centers and is operated by dedicated DAV volunteer drivers. Since inception of the program in 1987, DAV Departments and Chapters have donated 2,967 vehicles to the VA at a cost to DAV of over $65.1 million. The amount of hours DAV volunteers dedicate, the miles they drive and the number of rides they provide to veterans reflect promises we've ensured were kept. To put this into perspective, DAV volunteer drivers have driven 642,609,837 miles since the program's inception. The value of the contributed service hours of $38.0 million is reported in 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 guidelinesOther DAV voluntary service program initiatives include the Winter Sports Clinic, the Jesse Brown Memorial Youth Scholarship Program, the celebrity program, the Local Veterans Assistance Program and the VA Voluntary Service Program.Expenses $2,372,439 including grants of $982,077. Revenue $0. 1225382 0 0 EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM: DAV is committed to ensuring transitioning military members and their families secure the tools, resources and opportunities they need to advance their employment goals. -DAV facilitated 71 All Veterans Career Fairs in 40 cities across the country, creating employment opportunities for nearly 26,000. -DAV provides 10 to 12 virtual career fairs annually for active-duty, Guard and Reserve members, veterans and their spouses.-DAV connects veterans with employment resources and opportunities through its website www.jobs.dav.org. See Schedule O for continuation.EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM (cont.):Realizing the challenges that many veterans, especially our service-disabled veterans, continue to face in the employment marketplace, DAV established a new National Employment Department in 2014. One primary component of this mission is a partnership DAV formed with RecruitMilitary, a veteran-owned and operated full-service military-to-civilian recruiting firm. Working alongside RecruitMilitary, DAV uses online and offline products to connect employers, franchisors and educational institutions with veterans who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, veterans who already have civilian work experience, members of the National Guard and Reserve components and military spouses. All DAV services are available at no cost to the veteran. By co-hosting and sponsoring All Veterans Career Fairs, DAV is helping to address one of the greatest needs facing our nation's unemployed and underemployed veterans. DAV recognizes that traditional or "brick and mortar" career fairs reach only a fraction of those seeking new or better employment. In fact, many active-duty, Guard and Reserve members, veterans and spouses are unable to attend our traditional career fairs for a variety of reasons including geographical challenges-especially for those serving abroad-or because of a service-related disability. These challenges led DAV to expand our employment services by adding a virtual career fair component to our rapidly growing presence in the veteran's career fair arena. In partnership with Veteran Recruiting, the leader in producing virtual career fairs for the military and veterans, DAV will provide 10 to 12 virtual career fairs annually for active-duty, Guard and Reserve members, veterans and their spouses. In addition to employment assistance, DAV has incorporated our VA benefits and claims representation resources into our career fairs, including having a Mobile Service Office onsite at many of our traditional career fairs. At these events, DAV's veteran advocates have aided thousands of job-seeking veterans, dependents and survivors with claims assistance to understand and secure their earned VA, Department of Defense and state benefits. This service will also be extended to virtual fairs. DAV's National Employment Department also works directly with major employers who are interested in recruiting skilled veterans. On our employment resources Web page (jobs.dav.org), we provide a multitude of resources that veterans can access, including a job-search board boasting hundreds of thousands of current employment opportunities around the world and direct links to company website job boards. We are pleased to note that visits to our employment resources website have tripled in the past year, currently averaging more than 15,000 visits monthly.Expenses $1,225,382 including grants of $0. Revenue $0. 10985197 10000 0 COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAM: The National Communications Department oversees internal and external communications programs including media relations, publications and a variety of public outreach initiatives to tell DAV's story. A bimonthly magazine keeps our members informed about important issues and our government's policies affecting the federal benefits and services veterans have earned. This publication also showcases the many successful service programs and accomplishments of our state-level Departments and local DAV Chapters nationwide.Our communications staff produces news releases, speeches, op-eds, brochures, print messages, public service announcements, videos and other materials that provide information about DAV and the full range of free services that empower veterans to live high-quality lives with respect and dignity. In addition to these traditional tools, social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube also enable DAV and its members to build an even stronger community to carry out our mission now and into the future.Through this unique outreach program, DAV has been able to reach millions of Americans with our message of service and volunteerism in support of injured and ill veterans. With such a vast array of programs, our Communications Department is able to provide in-depth research and resources to best explain issues with facts, relevant examples and meaningful context. 6979747 0 6797671 MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM: DAV has more than 3,200 veterans dedicated to recruiting new members so that our base remains strong and vibrant into the future. DAV has 52 state-level Departments and 1,280 active Chapters nationwide. In 2015, DAV closed the year achieving a new landmark with 1,301,539 members. Membership is the lifeblood of DAV, and DAV's community of heroes stands together to ensure our nation keeps its promises to the men and women who served. This steadfast dedication to our cause has made DAV what it is today-a premier organization made up of veterans serving veterans.DAV was founded after World War I because a centralized structure to support veterans wounded or made ill in the trenches did not exist. America was not prepared for their return, and something needed to be done.The concept of continued service and sacrifice is part of a legacy that is more than 95 years old. DAV has evolved to meet the needs of its members amid the changes that naturally progress with time. Our armed forces have changed along with our society, and DAV has evolved to embrace those changes through the years. This enables us to ensure all veterans are able to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity.Today, social networking and technology are being leveraged by DAV members to continue to play vital roles as spokesmen and women for the unique requirements of veterans and their loved ones. We continue to effectively respond to the needs of both past and present generations of veterans, providing unwavering dedication to those who have sacrificed for our way of life, often with a life-changing illness or injury. 2796962 0 0 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM: DAV accomplishes many of its key objectives through its National Legislative Department's efforts with Congress, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other federal agencies in Washington, D.C. During 2015, even though the $2.8 million (both non-lobbying and lobbying combined) investment in our legislative program constituted less than 1 percent of DAV's total expenditures, our efforts in this arena achieved important results for the men and women who served, and we are building for an even more successful year in 2016.DAV's National Legislative Department is responsible for influencing, developing, strengthening and expanding federal law, policies, programs, benefits and services to empower injured and ill veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. The guiding principles of our advocacy efforts emanate directly from our legislative agenda as set forth by the resolutions adopted by delegates to our annual National Conventions and are strengthened by DAV's constitution and bylaws. These serve as guideposts for our advocacy on behalf of injured and ill veterans in conformance with the collective will of DAV members. 28348161 0 65106 PUBLIC AWARENESS OUTREACH: Injured and ill veterans returning from military service face odds most civilians cannot begin to fathom. Meanwhile, the all-volunteer military is undergoing multiple combat tours and limiting the military experience to less than a half percent of the population.While these intrepid few have fought in multiple combat zones, their fellow citizens have been relatively unaffected-without a draft, rationing or any of the other requirements that were commonplace when our country was mobilizing for the World Wars.This inevitable disconnect increases the need to build relationships between the public and its veterans, whose needs have only grown with the constant drumbeat of war. According to DAV's landmark Veterans Pulse Survey, just 38 percent of veterans say that when they left the military and re-entered civilian life, they felt they had the support they needed. Less than half of veterans believe they are receiving the benefits they've earned, and less than one in five believe disabled veterans have received their benefits. Only one-third say, upon leaving the military, benefits were explained to them.The report, released in conjunction with Veterans Day in 2015, highlighted the importance of making veterans aware of the resources that are available to them. DAV has worked diligently to educate the public effectively and efficiently about its mission and the service and sacrifices of our heroes.DAV wants to ensure veterans and their families are fully aware of the wide range of other programs we offer. Our outreach platforms enhance the efforts already built into our other program services to raise awareness. This effort provides the American public and private sector an opportunity to become involved in relating with and helping the men and women who served our nation and preserved our way of life we hold so dear. DAV 5Ks continue to garner widespread support in local communities across the nation. These inspiring events showcase support for our heroes and raise awareness about issues facing veterans daily. This past year, we held our third annual DAV 5K in Cincinnati, our second DAV 5K in San Diego and our inaugural event in Atlanta. In total, about 6,400 people personally honored and thanked friends and family members who served or are currently serving our country. We look forward to even greater participation in our events in Cincinnati and Atlanta, as well as our inaugural 5Ks in Boston, Tulsa, Okla., and Newport News, Va., in November 2016, and we will continue to explore opportunities to expand the 5K events to other cities across our nation. 49110067 10000 6862777 101719261 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 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 1 160 0 1 780 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 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 AR CA CT GA HI KS KY LA MD MN MO MS NC NH NJ NM NY OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV X X Barry A Jesinoski 8594417300 3725 Alexandria Pike Cold Spring KY 41076 Joseph W Johnston Chairman (1/15-8/15) 5.00 0.00 X 11269 0 0 Ron F Hope Chairman (8/15-12/15) 25.00 0.00 X 136894 0 0 Moses McIntosh Jr Vice-Chairman (1/15-8/15) 25.00 0.00 X 104085 0 0 David W Riley Vice-Chairman (8/15-12/15) 5.00 0.00 X 18487 0 0 Gary Lucus Treasurer (1/15-8/15) 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Rolly D Lee Sr Dir (1/15-8/15)/Treas (8/15-12/15) 5.00 0.00 X 7213 0 0 Frank Maughan Director (8/15-12/15) 5.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Danny Oliver Director (1/15-8/15) 5.00 0.00 X 5037 0 0 Jonny N Stewart Director (1/15-12/15) 5.00 0.00 X 9334 0 0 Richard L Tolfa Director (8/15-12/15) 5.00 0.00 X 1643 0 0 J Marc Burgess Natl.

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. X X X 1 1 X X X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 J Marc Burgess Natl.

First-class airfare may be approved considering such factors as: the degree to which the traveler is disabled and the length of the trip. DAV does not pay for charter travel. In 2015, one trip met the criteria for first class travel for DAV related business for persons listed on Part II, Section A, Line 1a. It was not considered taxable income. 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. 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 2015, Ron Hope, DAV National Commander (January to August) received $137,903 and Moses A. McIntosh Jr., DAV National Commander (September to December) received $87,097 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 DAV strategic plan goals. The Program was designed with assistance from an outside, independent consultant and approved by the Board of Directors. David Wilson See Sch. L.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11 Following completion of Form 990 by the DAV's tax preparer, it is reviewed by DAV's Accounting Department staff and Executive Director. Once resulting revisions are made, the Form is mailed to the Board of Directors for their review and questions. It is subsequently filed with the IRS. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c All members of the Board of Directors receive a copy of the Conflict of Interest Policy immediately upon assuming office, or at a minimum, annually. The same process applies to key employees and department directors. Recipients acknowledge they have read the policy, identify any areas of conflict and return the signed disclosure form to the DAV Executive Director. Responses are reviewed and identified. Conflicts are referred to the Board of Directors for discussion and approval as appropriate. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15 Every four or five years DAV hires an independent consulting firm to review compensation of DAV National Adjutant and CEO, Executive Directors, key employees, and other top management officials. This involves review of position responsibilities, accumulation of comparable data from other organizations and determination of appropriate compensation ranges for each. The ranges are reviewed and approved by independent members of the Board of Directors (Board). Any subsequent changes in compensation, typically annual and within the established ranges, are also approved by the Board. Non-employee members of DAV's Board receive a daily per diem of $250 when attending meetings or representing DAV at various related events. This is primarily to cover meals and lodging. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 Governing documents and the Conflict of Interest Policy are available upon request.
