Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) is the nation's first and largest nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and their families.

Founded in 2004, IAVA's mission is to improve the lives of Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and their families by addressing critical issues facing new veterans, including: mental health, traumatic brain injury, a stretched VA system, inadequate health coverage for national guardsmen and reservists, and outdated GI Bill educational benefits.

With more than 135,000 veteran members and civilian supporters nationwide, IAVA is dedicated to educating the public about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, advocating on behalf of those who have served, and fostering a community for troops, veterans, and their families.
