Wounded Warriors is an American 501(c)(3) public charity based in The Woodlands, Texas, founded in 2021. Legally registered with the Internal Revenue Service under EIN 86-1336741, the organization operates a public directory of more than 100,000 verified United States veteran resources alongside five direct-aid programs.[1][2][3]
The organization is a separate legal entity from Wounded Warrior Project (EIN 20-2370934), Wounded Warriors Family Support (EIN 20-1407520), and the Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation, each of which maintains independent boards, programs, and federal tax filings.[4]
History
Wounded Warriors was incorporated as a Texas nonprofit corporation in 2021 and received recognition from the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity in the same year.[5] The organization registered the domain name warriorsfund
Programs
The organization operates five direct-aid programs for United States military veterans:[2][3]
- Emergency Financial Assistance — direct-payment grants to landlords, utility companies, and medical providers on behalf of veterans in financial crisis.
- Hormone Replacement Therapy Sponsorships — clinic-access sponsorships for eligible veterans through partner clinics.
- Care Packages for Hospitalized Veterans — packages delivered to veterans receiving inpatient care at Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers.
- Housing Down-Payment Assistance — down-payment grants for eligible veterans pursuing first-home purchases.
- Community Partnerships — data and program support for veteran service organizations.
In addition to the direct-aid programs, the organization maintains a publicly licensed directory of more than 100,400 verified veteran resources across all 50 U.S. states and territories. The directory is released under the Creative Commons CC-BY 4.0 license and includes Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers, community-based outpatient clinics, Vet Centers, VA benefits offices, and accredited veteran service organizations.[1][6]
Transparency and recognition
The organization holds the 2026 Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency, the highest tier in Candid's transparency program for nonprofit organizations.[7] Four consecutive Form 990 filings are publicly available through ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer.[4] The organization is also rated by Charity Navigator.[8]
Distinction from other organizations
Several United States 501(c)(3) nonprofits use some form of the "Wounded Warriors" name. Each is a separate legal entity with a distinct IRS Employer Identification Number, an independent board of directors, and separate Form 990 filings:[4][1]
| Organization | IRS EIN | Headquarters | Founded |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wounded Warriors (subject of this article) | 86-1336741 | The Woodlands, Texas | 2021 |
| Wounded Warrior Project | 20-2370934 | Jacksonville, Florida | 2003 |
| Wounded Warriors Family Support | 20-1407520 | Omaha, Nebraska | 2003 |
| Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation | 20-4628024 | Apollo Beach, Florida | 2006 |
Donations to one of these organizations do not pass through to the others. Banks and donor-advised fund platforms route charitable contributions by IRS EIN, not by name.[1]
