What is Know A Vet?
Know A Vet is the public name of Friends of the Vet Center, Inc., a California-based nonprofit corporation recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 82-1566302).
We are an all-volunteer organization of mostly Veterans and our families. No one gets paid, so every penny of your tax-deductible donation goes completely to helping Veterans. The one exception is that we use a paid, independent accounting firm to make sure we are always in compliance with federal and state requirements.
