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 among the few US veteran nonprofits running a 43-tool Model Context Protocol server. We publish 144,900+ directory listings, joined with federal Census and CDC data, with 109,000+ pinned to their census tract, 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, including HRT sponsorships and housing down-payment assistance (emergency financial aid is currently paused). But we're also building infrastructure few veteran-serving organizations have built.
We publish an open, machine-queryable veteran-resource directory: 144,900+ listings across all 50 states plus territories. 109,000+ listings are pinned to their census tract — neighborhood-grain — joined with Census ACS demographics, CDC PLACES health prevalences, and ACS housing-burden data. 388,000+ open records across 5 datasets, all free under CC-BY 4.0.
And — this is the differentiator — we run a Model Context Protocol server with 43 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 gets an answer from our open directory in milliseconds.

The reason we're early to the AI infrastructure is we operate as a tech company that happens to be a charity. We need philanthropic capital now to scale that lead as Big Tech and large nonprofits catch 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 among the first US veteran nonprofits operating a Model Context Protocol server. The reason isn't that we're smarter — it's that we operate as a tech company that happens to be a charity, instead of the inverse."
— Dillon Parkes, Founder & President, U.S. Navy veteran
"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."
— Dillon Parkes, Founder & President
