Yet fully aware of the risks, service members continue to step up to defend our great nation — serving with unmatched courage and honor. It is on behalf of those heroes that I’m asking you to step up once again by supporting Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) today.
WWP has helped thousands of injured warriors along the path to recovery and greater independence despite the effects of their long-term injuries. But the need for these healing, empowering programs and services keeps growing because so many U.S. service members continue to pay the high price for our freedom.
A CAUSE WORTHY OF YOUR SUPPORT
Who We Serve
Wounded Warrior Project serves veterans and service members who incurred a physical or mental injury, illness, or wound, co-incident to their military service on or after September 11, 2001 and their families. With advancements in battlefield medicine and body armor, an unprecedented percentage of service members are surviving severe wounds or injuries. For every US soldier killed in World Wars I and II, there were 1.7 soldiers wounded. In Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, for every US soldier killed, seven are wounded.
Fiscal Responsibility
WWP continuously strives to keep administrative and fundraising costs associated with operation as low as possible. Based on WWP’s fiscal year 2011 audited financial statements ending September 30, 2011, 82.8 percent of total expenditures went to provide services and programs for our Wounded Warriors and their families.
Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity
Wounded Warrior Project is proud to be a Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity. This prestigious accreditation is only given to those nonprofit organizations that meet the 20 rigorous “Standards of Charity Accountability” related to how they govern their organization, the ways they spend their money, the truthfulness of their representations, and their willingness to disclose basic information to the public.
