For Foundations & Institutional Funders

A veteran nonprofit operating like a research institute.

Wounded Warriors (Texas EIN 86-1336741, d/b/a Warriors Fund) is a 501(c)(3) public charity that publishes one of the largest open, machine-queryable veteran-resource directories in the country, runs one of the first nonprofit Model Context Protocol servers, and joins federal Census, CDC, and ACS datasets to surface tract-level service deserts where veterans are dying for help. Foundation officers can move on this in a week, not a year.

Why your foundation should fund this work

Most veteran nonprofits aggregate cash and write checks. We do that — five direct-aid programs operate today (Emergency Aid, HRT Sponsorships, Care Packages, Housing Down-Payment Assistance, Community Partnerships). But we're also building infrastructure no other veteran-serving organization in the country has built:

For your foundation, this means three things:

  1. Reach. Every dollar your foundation grants moves through infrastructure that scales to every veteran in the country, not just our 1-on-1 caseload.
  2. Defensibility. Open-data infrastructure compounds. The directory we built is a moat. Veterans search Google or ask ChatGPT and our data answers.
  3. Auditability. Every claim we make is API-verifiable in 30 seconds. /api/health-status, /api/datasets, /api/grantmaker/snapshot, /api/insights — your due-diligence team gets machine-readable transparency. /transparency shows live data.

What we want to fund

Direct aid programs

  • Emergency Financial Aid — rent / utilities / vehicle repair grants for veteran families in crisis
  • HRT Sponsorships — hunting/recreational therapy retreats for combat veterans (PTSD-evidence-based)
  • Care Packages — for hospitalized veterans
  • Housing Down-Payment Assistance — bridges veteran families from renters to homeowners
  • Community Partnerships — local outreach

Open data + AI infrastructure

  • Continued federal data integration (HUD AMI, VA SAIL hospital quality)
  • Spanish-language content + crisis line integration
  • State-level outreach pilots in service-desert tracts
  • Veterans-Day-class research reports + foundation-grade impact dashboards
  • Academic research partnerships
