Texas 501(c)(3) (EIN 86-1336741) brings open-data veteran resource discovery to Florida's 1.5 million veterans across Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Orlando, and 12 top cities.
THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS — May 4, 2026 —Wounded Warriors (Texas 501(c)(3), EIN 86-1336741, IRS ruling year 2021) today announced that its open-data veteran-resource directory now indexes 5,408 verified veteran-serving resources across Florida.
Florida hosts approximately 1.5 million U.S. military veterans — the third-largest state veteran population after California and Texas. The Florida directory at warriorsfund.org/state/florida surfaces every Florida VA Medical Center (Bay Pines, Miami, Orlando, West Palm Beach, Lake City, plus the recently-expanded Tampa VA campus), all 67 Florida County Veterans Service Officers, 30+ Vet Centers, and thousands of mental-health, housing, employment, and benefits providers — geocoded to FIPS-tract precision.
Florida hosts a higher concentration of older veterans (Vietnam, Korea-era cohorts) than national average, with corresponding demand for survivor benefits (DIC, CHAMPVA, DEA Chapter 35), aid-and-attendance pension claims, and burial benefits coordination. Wounded Warriors' Florida-state landing page surfaces all of these resource categories with topic-specific subpages.
The page cross-links to neighboring states (Alabama, Georgia) so Florida Panhandle veterans can find the nearest VA hospital regardless of state line, and integrates with the organization's 43-tool Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity) can query Florida-specific veteran resources directly.
Florida donors should search EIN 86-1336741 in DAF portals (Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, NPT). Wounded Warriors holds the Candid 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency.
Florida's veteran population skews older — Vietnam-era and Korea-era cohorts in significant numbers. The benefit pathways they need (Aid & Attendance, DIC for survivors, CHAMPVA for spouses) are different from what a post-9/11 veteran needs. Our Florida coverage reflects that — every Florida CVSO indexed, every survivor-benefits HowTo bilingual.Dillon Parkes, Founder & Executive Director, Wounded Warriors
