Membership in State and Local VOADs

Each of the 55 State and Territory VOADs are members in National VOAD. State VOADs enter into a cooperative agreement with National VOAD to ensure that the State VOAD operates with similar principles and values to the National organization.

Each State VOAD develops its own governing documents, membership criteria, meeting schedules and coordination functions based on the National structure. Many of the organizations that join State VOADs are the chapters or counterparts of National level members, in addition to local community-based organizations and faith-based groups.

We encourage organizations that do not meet the membership criteria for National VOAD to contact the VOADs in the states where they operate.
