Disabled Veterans National Foundation

We are a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2007 by six women veterans, each with years of experience as State Women Veterans Coordinators in various states around the country. At work, these officials were confronted on a daily basis with the inability of an already overworked Department of Veterans Affairs to adequately deal with the considerable increase of disabled and at-risk veterans coming home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. They created DVNF with the goal of addressing the chronic gap in services for these veterans.

DVNF provides critically needed support to disabled and at-risk veterans who leave the military wounded—physically or psychologically—after defending our safety and our freedom. We achieve this mission by: 1. Offering direct financial support to veteran organizations that address the unique needs of veterans, and whose missions align with that of DVNF. 2. Providing supplemental assistance to homeless and low-income veterans through the Health & Comfort program and various empowerment resources. 3. Providing a national job board that connects the veteran community with leading employers. It is free and it will always be free as it serves our veterans and service members that keep America free. 4. Providing an online resource database that allows veterans to navigate the complex process of seeking benefits that they are entitled to, as well as additional resources they need.
