Building better lives for America's Disabled Veterans.

In 1986, leaders of the Disabled American Veterans National Organization set up the DAV Charitable Service Trust to advance initiatives that might not fit easily into the scheme of what is traditionally offered through the VA, state veterans' programs, or the veterans' service organizations. In addition, while the Trust cannot replace every dollar Congress and the Administration shift away from veterans' programs, we feel a duty to step in to the fullest extent possible when funding cuts threaten to seriously harm rehabilitation and therapy programs that are essential to disabled veterans.
