Who we are:
The Coalition for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans is a clearinghouse of over 45 agencies serving a myriad of needs associated with deployment in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. We share a common funder who has underwritten our ongoing efforts to leverage our resources to best serve the OIF/OEF community.
Our plan:
Looking forward, we hope to capitalize on our individual strengths and work together to break down barriers between the military and civilian community to build a stronger, more effective, more efficient, more caring and more comprehensive system of care for decades to come.

Working Together
When our organizations connect to provide services or promote the rights of our military, veterans, families, and survivors, it feeds our purpose. Having just started on our journey, the coming months will show more action from our experiences of working together. We have already begun to see the gaps in care being filled, just wait till we really get started!
