Wounded Warriors Project
Wounded Warriors Project (WWP) is a nonprofit 501(C)(3) organization and veterans service that offers variety of services and events for injured veterans. The organization was formed in 2005 and was dedicated for disabled veterans of the actions following the events of September 11, 2001. WWP’s mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors. The purpose of the organization is to raise awareness and enlist the public’s aid for the needs of injured service members, to help injured service members aid and assist each other, and to prove unique, direction programs and service to meet the needs of injured service members. WWP has designed three programs to help improve injured veterans’ lives and their family’s lives. Alumni Association is a program that helps with wounded warriors to continue to live beyond being injured. Combat Stress Recovery is a program that is designed to recover from mental health issues such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Physical Wealth and Wellness program is a program that is designed to reduce stress and promote an active lifestyle. Since WWP is a nonprofit organization, they have to file a Form 990, Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax. By the end of the 2014 fiscal year, the contributions and grants increased by $87,052,791 from the previous year. Out of all the donations from the fiscal year 2014, only 80.6 percent of total expenditures went to provide services for Wounded Warriors and their families. This specific organization is the one people should get involved with the veterans who have served our country and sacrificed themselves to give the citizens the freedom to live.
