While these organizations are primarily based in the Republic of Korea (ROK) and thus do not have public charity status in the United States, they generally raise funds from many different sources and operate similarly to many public charities in the United States. KDVA's direct fundraising from the general public is primarily through its interactions with its member base across the United States and others at its educational events, through its partnerships with other organizations with similar missions, and, to a lesser extent, through website donations. KDVA initially relied more heavily on contributions from its large donors as a necessity when its operations were starting up, and that continued during the COVID pandemic when public events and related fundraising were not viable options. KDVA expects to significantly diversify its funding in the coming years through an expansion of its fundraising efforts, and organically through the growth of its membership base, which was 5,448 members as of December 31, 2022, an increase of 106% over 2021. KDVA does not receive a substantial portion of its funding from any single individual or family and does not expect to do so in the future. Governing Body - KDVA has a diverse governing body (Board of Directors), which is currently comprised of 12 individuals without any familial relationships among them. Most of the governing body members have military backgrounds in the United States or Korea and have an in-depth understanding of the U.S.-ROK Alliance, which is useful in developing KDVA's programs and materials used to educate the general public. While KDVA does have four members of its governing body who are Board members of organizations that make significant contributors to KDVA, those members have rights consistent with other members of the board and represent only 25% of the voting rights. (Two of these Board members completed their terms on January 31, 2023.) Public Participation in Programs and Policies - KDVA primarily disseminates information through social media, membership and similar events, and member word of mouth. KDVA allows anyone with an interest in the U.S.-ROK Alliance to become a member without paying any membership fee, and all its members have access to the educational materials developed by KDVA.
