Donation FAQs

Wounded Warrior Project is a direct service organization. 100% of your donation supports wounded warriors. About 71% -- more than $260 million in fiscal year 2023 – was spent directly on programs and services for wounded warriors, families, and caregivers. The balance paid to support the delivery of this life-changing support.

More than 240,000 warriors, family members, and caregivers were registered with Wounded Warrior Project as of September 30, 2023. The need is great and growing. Every month in 2023, more than 2,200 warriors and family members registered with Wounded Warrior Project to receive our free programs and services.

WWP's monthly giving program is called Advance Guard. This program provides WWP with a reliable, low-cost source of long-term income for WWP programs and services. Simply fill out our online donation form or download a copy and mail it in today.

WWP does accept gifts of real estate in certain circumstances. The donation of real property raises significant practical and legal concerns, depending upon the circumstances. Please contact our office directly at plannedgiving@woundedwarriorproject.org and we can assess the situation on an individual basis.

Many companies offer matching gift programs that will double, even triple a donation's value. Even more, your company may also match gifts from spouses, retirees, and board members. Each gift will help foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history.

For full details on company matching gifts or to search for your company, please visit our Company Matching Gifts page.
