Setting the standard
Posted by IAVA Staff on August 22 2012

IAVA is proud to have become one of the most impactful nonprofit veterans support organizations in the country over the last eight years. From helping 750,000 veterans use the New GI Bill to passing the VOW to Hire Heroes Act to hosting hundreds of local events across the country, your support has fueled important accomplishments that improve the lives of all Iraq and Afghanistan veterans.

And we're happy to report that IAVA’s hard work has been recognized with the highest seal of approval for a nonprofit -- a four star rating from Charity Navigator, America’s largest independent charity evaluator.

Earning four stars is no small feat; it means that IAVA is an organization you can trust – as a veteran member, valued partner or supporter. We keep our operating and fundraising costs extremely low so we can invest your donations in our innovative programs. And with 40,000 organizations now working to support our nation’s veterans, this four star rating from Charity Navigator proves that IAVA is setting the standard of excellence.

On behalf of our 150,000 veteran members and their families, thank you for building this great organization with us.
