About Disabled American Veterans Department of Minnesota

Disabled American Veterans Department of Minnesota Inc concentrates its giving on Minnesota veterans, with 93% of grants going to recipients in the state and a local scope that keeps the work close to chapters, health care facilities, and veteran service partners. The largest recent grants show a mix of general support and operational help: $100,000 to Disabled American Veterans of Minnesota Foundation Inc for general support and $67,000 to Minneapolis VA Health Care for vehicles. Those awards sit alongside support for transportation, benefits assistance, outdoor programs, and services for women veterans. The foundation’s recent pattern also reaches beyond one type of recipient. It has funded chapter-based veteran support across Minnesota, from metropolitan chapters to smaller communities, while also backing larger service organizations tied to conventions, commemorations, and rehabilitation clinics. In the available records, its grantmaking combines direct program support with in-kind vehicle funding and event-related assistance, reflecting a practical approach to veteran services rather than a single-purpose funding model. Leadership is listed as Stephen Whitehead.
