We continuously strive to keep administrative and fundraising costs associated with the operation of the Wounded Warrior Project as low as possible thus maximizing the funds available to fund the many programs and services offered by WWP. Based on our fiscal year ending on September 30, 2008 audited financial statements, $0.82 of every dollar donated went to provide services and programs for our wounded warriors and their families. Additional financial data is also available here.
