Our mission is to improve the lives of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families. IAVA provides a robust and transformative support network for veteransfrom their deployments, to their transition home, and throughout the rest of their lives. Founded in 2004 by Iraq war veteran and current CEO Paul Rieckhoff, IAVA has since grown into the largest organization serving post-9/11 veterans. By the end of 2012, 158,429 veterans had signed on to become members of IAVA, representing communities in all 50 states; IAVA also had approximately 110,000 civilian supporters.IAVA fulfills its mission by delivering best-in-class programs to veterans, free of charge. In 2012, these programs benefitted approximately 380,000 veterans nationwide. Below, we provide impact summaries for our three largest program services.1) Employment and Education - To help returning veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan successfully transition into civilian life, IAVA connects them with quality education and employment opportunities. IAVAs services in this area include:- NewGIBill.org, a website that helps veterans to understand and effectively use their education benefits under the New GI Bill. The site includes IAVAs proprietary New GI Bill calculator, which enables veterans to easily check their benefits eligibility. In 2012, 348,500 veterans visited NewGIBill.org to receive the support they needed to understand and fully utilize their GI Bill benefits.- Direct education support provided by an Education Case Manager on IAVAs staff. In 2012, IAVA answered more than 1,000 direct inquiries from veterans about their education benefits, submitted online and over the phone.- Employment support programs that help reduce veteran unemployment. In partnership with leading employers nationwide, IAVA brings veterans to job fairs, open houses, career counseling sessions and resume workshopswith the goal of helping them build the skills they need to secure quality civilian employment. In 2012, IAVAs employment events included three job fairs, 18 open houses, three resume writing/interview skills training workshops, and one internship program held with the New York Stock Exchange. Collectively, these events and programs engaged more than 760 veterans. Based on responses to surveys that IAVA sends out after employment events, an average of 65% of attendees to these events secured follow-up interviews, conversations, and/or meetings with employers.2) Health IAVA makes it a priority to address the mental and physical health needs of returning veterans. IAVAs services in this area include:- Community of Veterans (COV), an online mental health support network exclusively for paperwork-confirmed veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. COV provides a safe space for veterans from across the country to help each other cope with mental health issues such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). By the end of 2012, COVs membership grew to 24,800 veterans.- Direct support provided to veterans who express suicide ideations on COV, at IAVA events, or in any other context. To ensure these veterans receive immediate assistance, IAVA connects them with the Veterans Crisis Line (VCL) of the Veterans Administration. The VCLs qualified, caring staff of responders provide counseling and resources to veterans in crisis24 hours a day, seven days a week, at no cost to the veteran. During 2012, IAVA linked six veterans to urgent mental health support through our partnership with the VCL.3) Community - Each year, IAVA hosts hundreds of local events to foster a strong community for new veterans. Our goal is to eliminate the experiences of isolation many veterans encounter when they return home. IAVAs services in this area include:- The Rucksack, IAVAs online rewards program that offers veterans access to exclusive tickets, giveaways, workshops and more. These opportunities are provided free of charge by IAVAs partners, who share our commitment to the veterans community. In 2012, IAVA posted 255 reward opportunities to The Rucksack that benefitted 4,100 veterans, including employment workshops, film screenings and home repairs and retrofits, among many others.- Local events that bring together veterans in communities nationwide, and connect them with IAVAs full range of programs and services. During 2012, we held more than 350 events across the country. For example, IAVA engaged approximately 500 members through 14 Veterans Day events held across nine citiesincluding parades, member events, and service projects.Also, in December 2012 IAVA launched a pilot program to provide case management and referral services to veterans and their families living in New York City. The Rapid Response Referral Program (RRRP) is a high-tech, high-touch way to connect veterans with critical resources in the areas of employment, education, health, public benefits, housing and legal assistance. By the end of 2012, IAVAs case managers had provided veterans with 114 referrals to services and supports. The RRRP connects several of IAVAs key program areas, and will be a major area of focus going forward. 4645637 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false false true 31 0 true 61 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 11 10 false false true false false false false true false false false true true true true true true true false false NY X X TAXPAYER 2129829699 292 MADISON AVENUE 10TH FLOOR New York NY 10117 MICHAEL LEVEN 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JIM HIRSCHMANN 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CRAIG NEWMARK 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 WES MOORE 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 YANNICK MARCHAL 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BILL COWHER 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROSANNE HAGGERTY 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LES GELB 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD BEATTIE 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 GREG D'ALBA 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAUL RIECKHOFF 60.00 0.00 X 145000 0 0 DEREK BENNETT 60.00 0.00 X 132102 0 0 MITCHELL STOLLER 60.00 0.00 X 128885 0 0 Devon Collins 60.00 0.00 X 110000 0 0 DANA MORRISSEY 60.00 0.00 X 110000 0 0 625987 5 false false false 0 252213 1128753 4915937 930691 6296903 0 71 71 0 0 0 63168 61225 1943 1943 1943 104440 1128753 294185 -189745 0 0 0 6109172 2014 35000 35000 0 0 0 145000 101500 21750 21750 0 2555857 1942451 357820 255586 0 289668 220147 40554 28967 251567 191191 35219 25157 0 4800 3840 960 20206 16165 4041 0 0 0 6354 5083 1271 140145 140145 35554 30221 3555 1778 82806 70385 8281 4140 0 0 381901 357371 18809 5721 0 0 0 0 55341 55341 13733 11673 1373 687 UTILITIES 162413 138051 16241 8121 CRM DEVELOPMENT & MAINT 165496 157221 8275 RENT 299917 254929 29992 14996 MEMBERSHIP EXPERIENCES 674636 674636 441505 295628 10138 135739 5761899 4645637 605345 510917 104780 720187 0 0 269045 564351 0 0 0 0 1143 41228 440316 75663 406884 364653 1049 1036 0 0 0 38928 22406 821829 1713861 475437 139694 880530 475437 1020224 X 346392 693637 346392 693637 821829 1713861 347273 -28 X false true X true false X 2094574 3679206 4394486 7532297 6401343 24101906 0 0 2094574 3679206 4394486 7532297 6401343 24101906 0 24101906 21 553 71 645 0 3262 10151 1943 15356 24117907 0.99930 0.99930 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 7538 197618 205156 5850928 6056084 452804 113201 false 22796 417907 532171 452804 1425678 2138517 113981 196519 230969 205156 746625 5699 104477 133043 113201 356420 534630 2066 2100 1389 7538 13093 250135 25014 225121 67679 27401 40278 122502 23248 99254 364653 X 17899942 11790770 11790770 6109172 6109172 17552697 11790770 28 11790798 5761899 5761899 Part XII, Line 2d Part XII, Line 2d: Other expenses and losses per audited F/S UNREALIZED LOSSES $28 Part X Part X : FIN48 Footnote The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, except on net income derived from unrelated business activities.
