Wounded Warriors building infrastructure no other veteran nonprofit has built.

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

THE WOODLANDS, TX — Wounded Warriors (Texas EIN 86-1336741, d/b/a Warriors Fund) 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:

• /grants/emergency-aid — Emergency Financial Aid (NTEE P81). $25K-$500K+ funding ask. Direct grants to landlords, utilities, medical providers; median grant $1,200, 5-7 day disbursement.
• /grants/hrt-sponsorships — HRT Sponsorships (NTEE E70). $10K-$250K. Hormone-replacement-therapy clinic access for transgender veterans during VA / TRICARE / Medicaid coverage gaps.
• /grants/care-packages — Care Packages for Hospitalized Veterans (NTEE P82). $5K-$100K. VAMC inpatient comfort program in coordination with VA Voluntary Service.
• /grants/housing — Housing Down-Payment Assistance (NTEE L40). $50K-$1M+. Closes the cash-at-closing gap (closing costs / earnest money / appraisal gap) for VA-loan-qualified veterans.
• /grants/partnerships — Corporate Partnerships (NTEE W30). $10K-$1M+. Matching-gift platform integration (Benevity, YourCause, Cybergrants, Bright Funds, Millie), veteran-hiring referral network, CSR program sponsorships.

Machine-readable infrastructure:

• /api/grants/programs.json — Schema.org MonetaryGrant catalog of all 5 programs with funding tiers, sourced statistics, FAQs. CC-BY 4.0.
• /charity-data + /charity-data.json + /charity-data.csv — DAF/portal verification reference (HTML for humans, Schema.org NGO JSON-LD for machines, CSV for spreadsheet review).
• New MCP tool match_grant_intent — institutional-funding intent router. AI agents helping foundation officers query "fund veteran homelessness" route directly to the matching /grants/{program} URL.

Anti-mis-routing surfaces shipped: /find-us, /donate/check, /charity-data

Multiple US 501(c)(3) charities share the "Wounded Warriors" name pattern, and DAF portals + matching-gift platforms typically order results by gift volume — meaning a name-only search may surface a same-named organization first. Wounded Warriors today shipped a three-page donor-routing layer designed to solve this exact problem.

What shipped:

• /find-us — Master "find Wounded Warriors EIN 86-1336741 in any DAF/portal/matching system" page. Big copyable EIN, 4-step always-works flow, 11 DAF sponsors + 6 matching-gift platforms with direct portal links + per-portal tips. Schema.org HowTo + FAQPage.
• /donate/check — Bulletproof check-routing page. Sample-check mock with memo line "EIN 86-1336741" highlighted in gold, 8-step counter list, mis-route recovery flow. Schema.org HowTo + DonateAction.
• /charity-data + /charity-data.json + /charity-data.csv — Single-page structured-data reference for DAF sponsors + matching-gift platforms + foundation due-diligence teams. Three formats.

Why this matters: banks route by EIN, not name. Without an EIN-first search workflow, donor-advised-fund grant recommendations and matching-gift requests can be silently mis-routed to a different organization with a similar name — a common problem in the veteran-aid sector. These pages are designed to surface the canonical EIN at every donor decision point.

Wounded Warriors becomes one of the first US veteran nonprofits with a 42-tool Model Context Protocol server

THE WOODLANDS, TX — Wounded Warriors (Texas EIN 86-1336741, d/b/a Warriors Fund), a 501(c)(3) public charity, today expanded its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to 42 specialized tools — making it among the first US veteran-aid nonprofits to operate such infrastructure at scale.

The MCP server lets AI assistants — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible agent — query the organization's 145,200-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.

By the numbers:

• 42 specialized AI agent tools (versus 0 at most veteran nonprofits)
• 62 public API endpoints + OpenAPI 3.0 spec
• 4 open datasets under CC-BY 4.0, ~265,000 federal-joined records
• 99.92% FIPS-tract geocoding coverage on the directory
• Zero authentication required — completely open and free for any AI agent

FIPS-tract geocoding reaches 99.92% — highest tract-level resolution of any US veteran nonprofit

Wounded Warriors today completed a Census Geocoder reverse-lookup backfill, raising tract-level geocoding from 74.4% to 99.92% across the directory's 109,400 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 joining with CDC PLACES health prevalence data — capabilities other US veteran-serving organizations lack.

Wounded Warriors publishes 4 open datasets, totaling ~265,000 records under CC-BY 4.0

Wounded Warriors today released one of the largest open veteran-data layers in the country. Four datasets totaling approximately 265,000 records joined across federal sources:

• 109,400 verified veteran resources (directory)
• 84,365 ACS tract-level veteran demographics
• 78,815 CDC PLACES tract-level health prevalences
• 80,147 ACS tract-level housing-burden tracts

All datasets are FIPS-tract keyed, machine-queryable via REST + 42-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.
