Who We Are

At Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), we are changing the way our nation cares for veterans and helping them thrive for a lifetime. Our innovative programs and services inspire the hope and purpose that help prevent veteran suicides.

We provide essential lifelines to caregivers. We stand by every warrior in need. With nearly 2.2 million post-9/11 veterans reporting a service-connected disability1, and an estimated 200,000 service members transitioning to civilian life each year2, the need for our support is vast and growing.

How We Serve

We are the nation’s leading veterans service organization, focused on the total well-being of post-9/11 wounded, ill, or injured veterans. Our programs, advocacy, and awareness efforts help wounded warriors to find purpose and thrive in communities across the country. The support of generous donors and corporate partners allows us to provide our programs at no cost to warriors and their families.

We fulfill our mission in three distinct ways:

★ PROVIDE direct programs and services to warriors and their families.

★ ADVOCATE for injured service members and their families in Washington, DC.

★ COLLABORATE with other military and veteran support organizations to amplify our efforts.
