The organization is headquartered at 1790 Hughes Landing Blvd, Suite 400, The Woodlands, TX 77380 and was recognized as a public charity by IRS ruling in its founding year. Wounded Warriors holds Candid's 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency (the highest tier), a Charity Navigator rating, and files a public Form 990 every year; every return is on ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer. The organization runs two parallel mission tracks. First, an open-data veteran-resource directory of over 144,900+ records covering all 50 US states plus DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Northern Mariana Islands. Records are grouped into nine categories — VA hospitals, VA clinics, vet centers (RCS), benefits offices/CVSOs, mental-health services, housing assistance (HUD-VASH/SSVF/GPD), employment services, Veterans Service Organization posts, and other — records are geocoded to lat/lng (most to FIPS state/county/tract level) and continuously URL-health-monitored on a rolling weekly schedule. The directory is published as free open data under CC-BY 4.0 and exposed through REST APIs, an OpenAPI 3.0.3 spec, Schema.org Dataset markup for Google Dataset Search, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with 43 specialized tools that AI assistants like Anthropic Claude and OpenAI ChatGPT use directly. Second, Wounded Warriors operates five direct-aid programs: (1) Emergency Financial Aid (currently paused), (2) HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) Sponsorships, (3) Care Packages for Hospitalized Veterans, (4) Housing Down-Payment Assistance, and (5) Community Partnerships. Beyond the directory, the organization publishes additional open datasets joining federal sources — US Census ACS tract demographics with veteran counts, CDC PLACES tract health prevalences, and ACS rent-burden data — all free, FIPS-tract keyed, and machine-queryable. The org operates with zero paid solicitor relationships, and its filed Form 990s are public on ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer."},"founder":{"name":"Dillon Parkes","title":"President & Founder","bio_short":"Dillon Parkes is the founder and president of Wounded Warriors (EIN 86-1336741), a U.S. Navy veteran, and a full-stack developer who built the organization's 144,900+-record open-data veteran-resource directory and the underlying AI agent infrastructure (MCP server, Schema.org Dataset markup, OpenAPI spec) end-to-end.","photo_url":"https://warriorsfund.org/founder-headshot.jpg","social":{"linkedin":null}},"key_stats_for_quotes":[{"stat":"146,912","context":"veteran resources"},{"stat":"106,984","context":"records geocoded to US Census tract level"},{"stat":"43","context":"AI-agent tools live on the MCP server"},{"stat":"85,382","context":"Census tracts with joined veteran demographic data"},{"stat":"78,815","context":"Census tracts with CDC PLACES health-prevalence data"},{"stat":"80,142","context":"Census tracts with HUD-style rent-burden data"},{"stat":"4","context":"open datasets published free under CC-BY 4.0"},{"stat":"50 + DC + 5 territories","context":"US states + jurisdictions covered"}],"quotable_lines":["Wounded Warriors maintains an open, machine-queryable veteran-resource directory — 144,900+ records covering every state and territory.","Most Wounded Warriors records are geocoded to FIPS Census tract level — accurate to within a single neighborhood — so AI assistants and search engines can route veterans to the closest help in milliseconds.","Wounded Warriors publishes its full data layer free under CC-BY 4.0.
