GivingTuesday 2026 — Donate to Wounded Warriors
GivingTuesday, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a day many people set aside to give. A gift to Wounded Warriors, a national 501(c)(3) veterans charity, keeps the free veteran resource directory and claim guides running and funds the direct-aid programs: HRT sponsorships, care packages for hospitalized veterans, housing down-payment assistance and the next emergency-aid grant cycle (applications currently paused). Many employers match charitable gifts, including gifts made on GivingTuesday.
What your GivingTuesday gift funds
- $75 delivers one care package to a hospitalized or isolated veteran
- $100 with a 1:1 employer match becomes $200 toward the same programs
- $250 goes toward the next emergency-aid grant cycle (applications currently paused)
- $5,000 sponsors one veteran's hormone replacement therapy for a full year at a partner clinic
- $10,000 funds one down-payment assistance grant for an eligible veteran homebuyer
