WE ARE NAVREF

In 1992, the National Association of Veterans’ Research and Education Foundations (NAVREF) was founded by a group of dedicated Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) personnel that recognized the need for a membership association committed to the interests of the VA-affiliated research and education nonprofits. Since then, NAVREF has been the preeminent organization that helps nonprofit research and education corporations (NPCs) obtain funding for the conduct of research and education at VA facilities nationwide.
