Donate at Facility
		 | Veteran Affairs

The form is used to assist personnel of both voluntary organizations, which recruit volunteers from their membership, and the VA in the selection, screening and placement of volunteers in the nationwide VA Voluntary Service program. The volunteer program supplements the medical care and treatment of veteran patients in all VA medical centers.

Privacy Act Information
 The information requested on this form is solicited under the authority of 38 U.S.C. 513 and will be used in the selection and placement of potential volunteers in the VA Voluntary Service Program. The information you supply may be disclosed outside VA as permitted by law; possible disclosures include those described in the "routine uses" identified in the VA system of records 57VA125 Voluntary Service Records-VA, published in the Federal Register in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974. The routine uses include disclosures: in response to court subpoenas, to report apparent law violations to other Federal, State or local agencies charged with law enforcement responsibilities, to service organizations, employers and Unemployment Compensation Offices to confirm volunteer service, and to congressional offices at the request of the volunteer. Disclosure of the information is voluntary, however, failure to furnish the information will hamper our ability to arrange the most satisfactory assignment for you and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Disclosure of the Social Security number is voluntary. The number will be used in the identification or records.
 

About Donations to VA
 VA medical center directors have authority to accept gifts pursuant to 38 USC 8301 and VHA Handbook 4721 for the general benefit of the medical center and the Veterans we serve. The Chief of Voluntary Service at each VA medical center may accept gifts that benefit the facility and its patients except for gifts for research and education. Donations provide Veteran patients with many essential services and programs that otherwise would not be available to them, such as transportation services, social service assistance, rehabilitation equipment, recreation programs, activities, homeless Veteran's services, holiday gifts, phone cards and many other options. Your donations are 100 percent tax deductible and all administrative costs for VA are already appropriated by Congress, so you can be assured your entire donation is going directly to support Veterans in the way you choose.
 
VA Voluntary Service (VAVS) is following revised protocols in accepting volunteers and donations during the ongoing response to the coronavirus pandemic.

This Power BI Dashboard illustrates infection data for your chosen medical facility.What You Need to Know about our DataWNTB VA is VA’s external benchmark report. It serves as a reference for VA medical centers (VAMCs) to keep track of U.S. national and regional benchmarks on key health outcome and process indicators. We describe the adjustments and considerations when using this report below.These metrics are reformatted to unadjusted rates. They are reported as infections per 1,000 device days using the numerator and denominator reported on CMS Care Compare.Users should be cautious when comparing surgical complications between VA and non-VA hospitals due to differences in methodology. VA reports observed rates (not risk-adjusted) for PSI surgical complications, while for non-VA hospitals, CMS reports rates that are ‘smoothed’ to the National Medicare population. For more information about the methodologies, download the AHRQ Quality Indicators Toolkit (PDF).Most metrics reported on CMS Care Compare apply to Medicare beneficiaries (e.g., age 65 and older), while metrics reported for VAMCs may include patients who are not eligible for Medicare due to age and other factors.Download DataDownload data in CSV formatDownload data in JSON format
