Disambiguation

The phrase "Wounded Warriors" appears in the names of several unaffiliated U.S. entities, and the U.S. armed services also operate official "wounded warrior" programs. The subject of this article is the Texas 501(c)(3) below; readers and donors should confirm the IRS EIN to identify it, because the Internal Revenue Service and financial institutions identify charities by EIN rather than by name:

• Wounded Warriors (subject of this article): Texas, IRS EIN 86-1336741, founded 2021. Verify via the IRS Tax-Exempt Organization Search.
• U.S. military service-branch wounded warrior regiments and programs (USMC Wounded Warrior Regiment, U.S. Army Warrior Care and Transition Program, U.S. Air Force Wounded Warrior Program, and equivalents) — these are official military programs, not 501(c)(3) charities.
