Wounded Warriors ships institutional-funding infrastructure for foundations + DAF advisors + corporate CSR teams

THE WOODLANDS, TX — Wounded Warriors (EIN 86-1336741) today released a complete institutional-funding infrastructure layer designed to remove every operational friction point between a foundation officer or DAF advisor and a funded grant.

The release covers five long-form, foundation-ready landing pages — one per direct-aid program — alongside a machine-readable Schema.org catalog that DAF analytics teams and AI agents can ingest programmatically.

What shipped:

Machine-readable infrastructure:

"Foundation officers and DAF advisors don't read a homepage with five competing programs — they map their portfolio mandate to specific cause areas and want a deep link to that cause area. So we built a deep link per program. Each one is built for the questions a program officer actually asks: what's the funding ask, what's the disbursement model, what are the sourced statistics, how do you measure outcomes, what's the EIN, what's the wire address. We built the infrastructure that closes the gap between a funder's interest and a funded grant." — Dillon Parkes, Founder & President

Donor verification pages shipped: /find-us, /donate/check, /charity-data

Wounded Warriors today published three donor pages centered on our legal name, EIN 86-1336741, and instructions for checks, donor-advised fund grants, and employer matching gifts.

What shipped:

Why this matters: DAF sponsors and matching-gift platforms look up charities by EIN. Donors can search EIN 86-1336741 to find Wounded Warriors in those systems. Checks are payable to Wounded Warriors and can be mailed to 1790 Hughes Landing Blvd Ste 400, The Woodlands, TX 77380.

Wounded Warriors expands its Model Context Protocol server to 43 tools

THE WOODLANDS, TX — Wounded Warriors (EIN 86-1336741), a 501(c)(3) public charity, today expanded its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to 43 specialized tools.

The MCP server lets AI assistants — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible agent — query the organization's 143,700-record veteran-resource directory directly. When a veteran asks an AI assistant for help, the AI can call tools like check_eligibility, find_cvso, get_zip_overview, or veteran_crisis_resources and return verified information in milliseconds.

"Veterans deserve the same caliber of digital tools as any tech-company customer. The 17 veterans dying by suicide each day aren't saved by another GoFundMe — they're saved by the AI assistant their family is talking to actually knowing where the nearest VA Vet Center is, what 988 + Press 1 does, and which CVSO files claims for free in their county. We built the infrastructure that makes that conversation accurate." — Dillon Parkes, Founder & President

FIPS-tract geocoding expanded across the veteran-resource directory

Wounded Warriors is expanding Census Geocoder tract-level coverage, with about 74% FIPS-tract geocoding across the directory's 143,700+ records. This means nearly every veteran-aid resource in the directory is now geo-resolved to neighborhood-level precision (FIPS state/county/tract).

The achievement enables tract-level service-desert detection, neighborhood-grain rent-burden analysis, and joins with CDC PLACES health prevalence data.

Verify: /api/health-status shows live FIPS coverage statistics.

Wounded Warriors publishes 5 open datasets, totaling ~265,000 records under CC-BY 4.0

Wounded Warriors today released an open veteran-data layer. Four datasets totaling approximately 265,000 records joined across federal sources:

All datasets are FIPS-tract keyed, machine-queryable via REST + 43-tool MCP server, indexed for Google Dataset Search via Schema.org Dataset markup, and harvestable by federal Data.gov via Project Open Data v1.1 (DCAT) catalog.

Cite the data: /api/citations returns BibTeX, APA, MLA, Chicago, and RIS citation strings.

Veteran resource directory crosses 100K records

Wounded Warriors crossed the 100K-record mark in February 2026, becoming one of the largest open, machine-queryable veteran-resource directories in the United States. The directory aggregates 47,400+ veteran-focused resources (VA hospitals, clinics, vet centers, benefits offices, mental health, housing, employment, VSOs) plus 96,200+ general-healthcare providers that accept veterans (CMS-certified nursing homes, home-health agencies, hospices, dialysis centers, HRSA Federally Qualified Health Centers).

Records are geocoded, URL-health-monitored, and (for nonprofit records) ProPublica Form 990 cross-referenced.
