Name Wounded Warriors as beneficiary of a percentage of your IRA / 401(k) / 403(b) / TSP.
Why this vehicle: Often more tax-efficient than a straight bequest — qualified retirement-account assets passed to non-charity heirs trigger income tax; gifts to a 501(c)(3) escape that tax entirely. You can change beneficiary designations any time directly with the plan administrator (no attorney required).

EIN matters: "Wounded Warriors" (us, EIN 86-1336741) and "Wounded Warrior Project" (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.
