Since 2012, WWP has committed $436 million to 221 military and veteran organizations. In addition to the $200 million in direct programs and services in 2025, WWP provided grants to 39 organizations dedicated to our nation’s service members and families. The impact shown reflects investments made during WWP’s 2023 fiscal year to support programming through 2024.

With your support and by investing in programs that address overall quality of life, reduce suicide risks, and support high-need populations, WWP strengthens critical resources in the focus areas of connection and community integration, family resiliency and caregivers, financial wellness and wrap-around services, Special Operations Forces, and seen and unseen wounds.

Connection & Community Integration Social support among veterans has been associated with better quality of life and as a protective factor of suicidal thoughts. According to the Wounded Warrior Project ® (WWP) Warrior Survey, 79% of warriors reported feeling isolated — a stark contrast to the camaraderie that many experience during their time in the military.

WWP’s partner programs help to create a supportive and inclusive environment where veterans can connect with others, make a direct impact on their community, efficiently access community resources, and renew the sense of camaraderie in their lives. By augmenting WWP’s own connection-based programming, our network of support helps reduce isolation, build social support, and promote community integration.

Family Resiliency & Caregivers Wounded Warrior Project understands that veteran families and caregivers have served and sacrificed alongside their loved ones, shouldering many of the same stressors while providing critical stability, support, and care. WWP is proud to support partner organizations that augment WWP’s own programs and services for post-9/11 wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans.

Together, we’re providing a holistic model of care to help military- and veteran-connected children, families, and caregivers thrive. Alongside our co-chairs at the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, WWP is proud to lead the Hidden Helpers Coalition (HHC) — a collective of more than 110 nonprofits, corporations, and government entities dedicated to supporting children and youth caregivers.

WWP continues to invest in organizations that drive innovative, tailored solutions that connect and empower the youngest caregivers of our nation’s wounded warriors. Financial Wellness & Wrap-Around Services Financial health is a key indicator of quality of life, as it is intrinsically connected to mental, physical, and psychological well-being.

According to the Wounded Warrior Project Warrior Survey, more than six in 10 WWP warriors (67%) reported financial strain. WWP serves post-9/11 wounded, ill, and injured warriors and their families through individualized career counseling, financial education, and benefits assistance. To further augment these services, WWP invests in partners that empower service members and veterans to achieve their fullest potential.

These programs and services include entrepreneurship training, transition and employment coaching, benefits counseling, transitional housing, emergency financial aid, and many more interventions that address both the immediate and underlying causes of economic insecurity.

Partner programs range from cohort-based fellowships to those that offer community-centered wraparound services that focus on direct case management, addressing substance use, and supporting the development of behaviors, attitudes, and values of healthy living.

Special Operations Forces Throughout our nation’s history, Special Operators have been the tip of the spear — tackling the most difficult challenges, executing the most dangerous missions, and bearing the unseen burdens that accompany their duties. Wounded Warrior Project invests in best-in-class partner organizations that augment our support for this elite force.

These partners offer programs and services that provide individualized transition and employment counseling, enable lasting financial security, facilitate effective health and wellness interventions, and create meaningful connections with peers and families. The vision of Wounded Warrior Project is to foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded, ill, and injured veterans in our nation’s history.

Every warrior’s journey is unique, and WWP provides services, support, and interventions to address needs, nurture strengths, and enhance quality of life through every step of that journey. WWP is proud to support organizations that augment these efforts by providing innovative programs and services that support mental and brain health, physical fitness, and spiritual health.

Though each program employs a unique model of care, they all share a holistic approach to WWP’s fundamental objectives of preventing veteran suicide and maximizing quality of life for warriors and their families.

WWP as a Leader and Convener Wounded Warrior Project serves as a leader and convener through its Partner Convening , which brings together leaders from military and veteran service organizations to strengthen collaboration in support of wounded, injured, and ill veterans, their caregivers, and families.
