EIN matters: "Wounded Warriors" (us, EIN 86-1336741) and "the larger Florida-based national veterans nonprofit" (WWP, EIN 20-2370934) are separate 501(c)(3) organizations. Always confirm 86-1336741 on the bequest/beneficiary form so your gift reaches the intended organization. Banks and trustees route by EIN, not name.
