For family-office directors, principal donors, and individuals considering a significant gift, Wounded Warriors provides information on its programs, public data, and giving methods. Review current program availability and discuss any proposed recognition or reporting with the organization.
Why this nonprofit, specifically
Compounding infrastructure
Wounded Warriors publishes a veteran-resource directory, public API, MCP endpoint, and program information. Emergency financial aid applications are paused. See current directory counts and program status before considering a gift.
Founder access
Major donors get a direct line to Dillon Parkes (Founder & President). Quarterly briefings. Veto on which federal data overlay we tackle next (HUD AMI? VA SAIL?). Skip the bureaucratic layers that come with larger organizations.
Giving options include online gifts, checks, donor-advised fund grants, stock, and planned gifts. Review current methods at /api/donate-options and discuss tax treatment with your advisor.

What we say to a major donor when asked "why you instead of a bigger nonprofit?"
A $500K gift changes our trajectory: it funds direct assistance and open infrastructure built to scale to every veteran in the country. And — for what it's worth — you can pick up the phone and reach the founder directly. — Dillon Parkes
