Mission & Focus Areas

PVA describes its mission as supporting members and others living with spinal cord injuries and disabilities in achieving their goals. Its four stated tenets are quality health care for members; research and education addressing spinal cord injury and dysfunction; benefits earned through military service; and civil rights and opportunities that maximize members’ independence.

PVA’s work includes helping veterans and family members obtain military-service benefits, supporting access to health care through the VA system, and advocating on veterans’ and disability-related policy issues. It also funds research and educational initiatives related to spinal cord injury and disease, including multiple sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The organization’s 2025 grants included research grants and chapter and sports grants. Examples of supported chapter organizations include Florida Gulf Coast Paralyzed, whose stated mission emphasizes health care, rehabilitation, job opportunities, recreation, and civil rights for people with spinal cord injury or dysfunction; Nevada Paralyzed Veterans of America, which describes its mission as improving quality of life for veterans with spinal cord injury or disease; and Mid-America Chapter Paralyzed Veterans, whose stated mission includes recreation, assistance, health care advocacy, research, and disability rights.

Grantmaking

In filing year 2025, PVA reported 37 grants totaling $5,754,315. Grant amounts ranged from $30,000 to $350,000, with a median of $150,655. The largest reported awards included $350,000 to PVA Education & Training Foundation and $250,000 to Yale University, both for research. Chapter and sports grants included $165,655 to Florida Gulf Coast Chapter PVA, $160,655 to Texas Chapter PVA, and $158,155 each to Mid America Chapter PVA and Nevada Chapter PVA.

PVA’s Research Foundation funds work in basic science, clinical applications, design and development or assistive technology, and post-doctoral fellowships. PVA’s website states that the research grant cycle is closed and will open April 1, 2027. The Education Foundation funds innovative educational projects intended to benefit veterans and others living with spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as well as their families, caregivers, and health care professionals. Its policies emphasize broad-based educational opportunities and potential for replication and dissemination.

PVA also offers an educational scholarship program for PVA members and their immediate family members enrolled in accredited postsecondary institutions. Awards are $500 for part-time students and $1,000 for full-time students. This is support for members and their families, rather than an outside-organization grant program.
