Giving Back to the Community
Our success can be someone else's too.
The 1.2 million-member Disabled American Veterans (DAV) is a non-profit 501(c)(4) charity dedicated to building better lives for America’s disabled veterans and their families.
The DAV was founded in 1920 by disabled veterans returning from World War I to represent their unique interests. In 1932, the DAV was congressionally chartered as the official voice of the nation’s wartime disabled veterans.
With our brave Americans leaving the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, the DAV’s services and advocacy are as relevant and critical today as in any time in our nation’s history.
Annually, the DAV represents more than 200,000 veterans and their dependents with claims for benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense.
The DAV’s Voluntary Services Program operates a comprehensive network of volunteers who provide veterans free rides to and from VA medical facilities and improve care and morale for sick and disabled veterans.
The DAV’s 1.2 million members provide grassroots advocacy and services in communities nationwide. From educating lawmakers and the public about important issues to supporting services and legislation to help disabled veterans — the DAV is there to promote its message of hope to all who have served and sacrificed
Orangewood Children's Foundation
Our investment in education for children we believe should be done on a local basis right here in the State of California. Because our focus is upon education for the individual, we support those who are victims of abuse, neglect and abandonment. We take great pride in our commitment to supporting young adults as they strive to find direction and focus in the engineering and scientific fields by offering our financial support as well as 'hands on' training of the future scientists and engineers for the Space Program or technologically advanced careers in medicine, life sciences and the environment.
