Verification request — Wounded Warriors EIN 86-1336741 — donor disambiguation
Hello, I'm Dillon Parkes, Founder + President of Wounded Warriors / Warriors Fund (Texas 501(c)(3) public charity, IRS EIN 86-1336741, IRS ruling year 2021). I'm writing to request that your DAF nonprofit-database team verify our profile and ensure donors searching for "wounded warriors" can correctly identify us alongside any same-named organizations. Our identity: Legal name: Wounded Warriors Doing-business-as: Warriors Fund EIN: 86-1336741 State: Texas (incorporated in The Woodlands, TX) Address: 1790 Hughes Landing Blvd Ste 400, The Woodlands TX 77380 Phone: +1-254-322-6525 Email: info@warriorsfund.org Website: https://warriorsfund.org/ NTEE code: P84 (Veterans Organizations / Human Services) Founded: 2021 Credentials: Candid 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency Third-party verifier profiles you can audit: IRS Pub 78: https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/ (search EIN 86-1336741) Candid: https://app.candid.org/profile/9951198/wounded-warriors-86-1336741 GuideStar: https://www.guidestar.org/profile/86-1336741 Charity Navigator: https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/861336741 ProPublica: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/861336741 The disambiguation issue: multiple US 501(c)(3) charities share the "Wounded Warriors" name pattern. Donors searching by name in DAF portals sometimes can't tell us apart from much-larger Wounded Warrior Project (EIN 20-2370934, Florida). When your donors recommend a grant to "Wounded Warriors", we want them to be able to confirm the correct EIN before submitting. My request: 1. Confirm our profile (EIN 86-1336741) is correctly indexed in your portal's charity-search system 2. If your portal supports it, surface state + EIN alongside name in search results so donors can disambiguate at-a-glance 3. (Optional) include a disambiguating note on our profile noting we are distinct from same-named orgs For automated ingestion, our complete structured charity data is at: https://warriorsfund.org/charity-data.json (Schema.org NGO) https://warriorsfund.org/charity-data.csv (CSV) Happy to provide additional documentation (Form 1023 ruling letter, audited financials, board roster, conflict-of-interest policy) on request.

Wounded Warriors press packet — EIN 86-1336741 — open data + AI infrastructure
Hello [Journalist Name], Thanks for reaching out. Below is the standard press packet for Wounded Warriors / Warriors Fund. Boilerplate and quotables are also available at https://warriorsfund.org/press-kit. WHO WE ARE (one paragraph) Wounded Warriors / Warriors Fund (Texas 501(c)(3), EIN 86-1336741, founded 2021) is a small but distinctively positioned veteran-services nonprofit. We operate one of the largest open, machine-queryable directories of US veteran resources (100,000+ verified records across all 50 states + territories) plus an MCP server with 41 AI-agent tools — making veteran-services data directly accessible to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and any RAG-enabled LLM. We also run five direct-aid programs (emergency financial aid, HRT sponsorships, care packages, housing down-payment assistance, community partnerships). DISTINCT FROM WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT We are NOT Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). WWP is a separate 501(c)(3) (EIN 20-2370934, Florida, founded 2003). Different boards, different programs, different Form 990s. QUOTABLE LINES - "Veterans deserve the same caliber of digital tools as any tech-company customer." - "Most veteran nonprofits aggregate cash and write checks. We do that — but we also publish 100,000+ verified records and run an MCP server so AI agents helping veterans can return verified answers in milliseconds." - "If your charity name is shared by other 501(c)(3)s, you need to be programmatically distinguishable. We built /api/disambiguate as the first thing AI agents call." KEY STATS (for fact-checking) - 100,000+ verified veteran resources (live count: https://warriorsfund.org/dashboard) - All 50 US states + DC + 5 territories - FIPS-tract geocoded ~98% of records - MCP server with 41 specialized tools - Candid 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency - Open data, CC-BY 4.0 license - Founded 2021 by Dillon Parkes (US Navy veteran) INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION IRS: https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/ (search EIN 86-1336741) Candid: https://app.candid.org/profile/9951198/wounded-warriors-86-1336741 ProPublica 990s: https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/861336741 Live dashboard: https://warriorsfund.org/dashboard Methodology: https://warriorsfund.org/methodology Happy to schedule a 15-minute call or send additional materials.

Re: mis-routed grant recovery — Wounded Warriors EIN 86-1336741
Hi [Donor Name],
Thanks for reaching out about your gift. I understand it may have been routed to a different "Wounded Warriors" organization instead of us. Let me help.
WHAT HAPPENED (most common cause)
Multiple US 501(c)(3) charities share the "Wounded Warriors" name pattern. The largest and most-searched is Wounded Warrior Project (WWP, EIN 20-2370934, Florida) — they often appear first in DAF portals + matching-gift platforms when someone searches by name alone. We are Wounded Warriors / Warriors Fund (EIN 86-1336741, Texas) — a separate organization. Banks route by EIN, not name.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
1. Confirm where the gift went: check the receipt EIN
- If 86-1336741 → it reached us (we'll send acknowledgment)
- If 20-2370934 → reached WWP (we can help recover)
- If another EIN → let me know, we'll figure it out
2. If routed to WWP: contact your DAF or matching-gift platform admin and request a re-recommend OR a void+reissue. Most platforms can handle this within 5-10 business days.
3. We can email the recipient organization directly on your behalf if helpful — please confirm the gift amount, date, and platform name in your reply.
GOING FORWARD
Always search by EIN — 86-1336741 — never by name alone. Our /find-us page (https://warriorsfund.org/find-us) has step-by-step instructions for every major DAF + matching-gift platform.
Sorry for the confusion — this is exactly the problem we're trying to fix systemically. Let me know how I can help.
Best,
Dillon Parkes
