What Center for Veterans Research and Education does
Mission
At cvre, our number one mission is advancing veterans' health.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Funding for the research activities of cvre is derived from federal and state grants and contracts, and privately funded awards and contracts provided by corporations and other not-for-profit organizations. These sponsored awards are issued in the forms of - but not limited - cradas (cooperative research and development awards), industry contracts, clinical trial agreements and grant awards. Cradas establish the terms of sponsored collaborative research, generally with non-federal industry partners, and are specifically designed to protect the parties' prior inventions while allowing research partners to negotiate management of any new discovery or intellectual property that may result from the collaboration. Cradas are governed by the title 15 commerce and trade, chapter 63, technology innovations, section 3710a cooperative research and development agreements. They are subject to review and approval of the va office of general counsel (ogc). All research projects must be approved by the mvahcs research & development (r&d) committee and applicable subcommittees. The r&d committee has overall responsibility for the conduct and oversight of all research administered this…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $4.9M to $5.6M (+14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
0% of CENTER FOR VETERANS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 8 funders, grant income rose $212k → $482k.
4 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 8% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CENTER FOR VETERANS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CENTER FOR VETERANS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
92% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CENTER FOR VETERANS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 71% · 2018 61% · 2019 56% · 2020 49% · 2021 32% · 2022 36% · 2023 30% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
38% of CENTER FOR VETERANS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
CENTER FOR VETERANS RESEARCH AND EDUCATION draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Minnesota, across 9 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $243k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
