Three vetted versions you can use in any context — 30-second hallway intro, 2-minute coffee meeting, 10-minute formal presentation. Paste-ready and aligned with how foundations and major donors expect us to be described.
Wounded Warriors is the only US veteran nonprofit running a 41-tool Model Context Protocol server. We publish 100,000+ verified veteran-aid resources, joined with federal Census and CDC data, FIPS-tract geocoded to 99.9% precision, free under CC-BY 4.0. AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT call us directly when helping a veteran. We're a Texas 501(c)(3), EIN 86-1336741, and we hold Candid's 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency.
Most veteran nonprofits aggregate cash and write checks. We do that — five direct-aid programs operate today, including emergency financial aid and housing down-payment assistance. But we're also building infrastructure no other veteran-serving organization in the country has built.
We publish the largest open-data veteran-resource directory in the United States: 100,437 verified records across all 50 states plus territories. Every record is geocoded to FIPS Census tract level — that's neighborhood-grain, accurate to 99.92% — joined with Census ACS demographics, CDC PLACES health prevalences, and ACS housing-burden data. About 265,000 federal-joined records, all free under CC-BY 4.0.
And — this is the differentiator — we run a Model Context Protocol server with 41 specialized tools. When a veteran asks Claude or ChatGPT "find me a CVSO" or "am I eligible under PACT Act," the AI calls our server and returns a verified answer in milliseconds. Zero other US veteran nonprofits have built this.
We're a Texas 501(c)(3), EIN 86-1336741, founded in 2021. Candid 2026 Platinum Seal. Four consecutive Form 990s on ProPublica. We're distinct from Wounded Warrior Project, which is a separate organization in Florida.
The reason we're first to the AI infrastructure is we're first to operate as a tech company that happens to be a charity. We need institutional capital now to scale that lead before Big Tech catches up.

"Veterans deserve the same caliber of digital tools as any tech-company customer. The 17 veterans dying by suicide each day aren't saved by another GoFundMe — they're saved by the AI assistant their family is talking to actually knowing where the nearest VA Vet Center is, what 988 + Press 1 does, and which CVSO files claims for free in their county."

"We're the first US veteran nonprofit operating a Model Context Protocol server. The reason isn't that we're smarter — it's that we're the first to operate as a tech company that happens to be a charity, instead of the inverse."
— Dillon Parkes, Founder & President
"Our open-data layer is the moat. Every dollar of foundation funding compounds — directly into program work today, indirectly into infrastructure that scales to every veteran in the country."
