GLAVREF is a VA-Affiliated research foundation also known as a non-profit corporation (NPCs). These like-minded institutions are based on a federally authorized statute passed in 1988. Today, GLAVREF is one of 79 active VA-affiliated research and education non-profits serving VA across the country. We recommend that Board members review and understand the authorizing statute(s). A very informative overview of the characteristics of the NPCs is posted on the National Association of Veterans Research and Education Foundations website at www.navref.org.
