Our promise to be there for warriors drives us to push the limits of what's possible in serving those who've served. In overcoming challenges, strengthening connections, finding purpose, and advancing solutions, we're committed to bringing every warrior home — mind, body and soul.
We work to ensure that warriors and family members receive the right support, at the right time, when they need it most. We have touched hundreds of thousands of lives since 2003. Our work is far from done. We're committed to reaching one million more.
Too many warriors live with the effects of trauma. We believe that PTSD is not a life sentence. We have evidence of symptom relief and remission today. Change is already happening. Our task is to expand, accelerate, and innovate access to effective care.
Thousands of veterans still die by suicide each year. We believe prevention starts long before a crisis occurs. We will help build preventative systems, whole life solutions, and suicide-safer communities where help arrives faster than hopelessness.
Ending veteran homelessness requires more than housing alone. We will build coalitions to find every veteran at risk. We will address root causes before a crisis occurs. We will help veterans regain the stability that makes housing last.
Guided by our mission, our teams and leaders work every day to support warriors and their families, no matter what.
WWP began in 2003 as a grassroots effort to provide backpacks filled with care and comfort items at the hospital bedsides of wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. More than two decades later, we are still defined by our promise to be there for warriors and their families, no matter what. Since our founding, we have directly served more than 300,000 veterans, service members, and family members.
As the needs of those we serve have evolved, so has our impact. In 2015, we partnered with four leading academic medical centers to launch Warrior Care Network, providing accelerated brain health treatment and healing relief to those suffering from the disruptive effects of PTSD and other brain health challenges. We have continued to advance veteran policies and initiatives in Washington, DC that positively impact the lives of millions of veterans. And over the past 15 years, we have committed nearly $500 million in funding to 223 partner veteran organizations.
From our founding more than 20 years ago, through our vision for the decades to come, our extraordinary impact has been made entirely possible by the commitment of generous individual supporters, corporate partners and visionary funders. Together, we are keeping the promise to find every warrior, everywhere, and bring them home – mind, body, and soul.
Our core values of Service, Integrity, Loyalty, Innovation, and Fun are part of everything we do.
