Wounded Warrior Project, Inc.
This year, Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) will mark 20 years of dedication to our mission to honor and empower wounded warriors. Our work started in 2003 when a group of patriotic citizens decided to act after seeing the first wounded Service members return home from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. At hospital bedsides, they provided care, comfort, and support to injured warriors who were beginning paths of recovery and rehabilitation. Today, more than 800 dedicated teammates across the nation and overseas are continuing that service and doing so for over 183,000 veterans and Service members registered with WWP and 46,000 of their family members similarly registered with WWP. After nearly two full decades of commitment, and with the aid of passionate supporters at every step along the way, WWP has helped transform the way post-9/11 wounded, ill, and injured veterans and Service members are empowered, employed, and engaged in our communities. We have grown to offer more than a dozen direct service programs focused on connection, independence, and wellness across mental, physical, and financial domains to create a 360-degree model of care and support.
