Issued by Wounded Warriors (d/b/a Warriors Fund) · Texas 501(c)(3) · EIN 86-1336741 · 2026-05-04

Wounded Warriors (Texas 501(c)(3), EIN 86-1336741, IRS ruling year 2021) today announced that its open-data veteran-resource directory now indexes 3,170 verified veteran-serving resources across North Carolina.

North Carolina hosts approximately 700,000 U.S. military veterans, plus the largest active-duty military population in the country (Fort Liberty, Camp Lejeune, Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, Marine Corps Air Station New River). The state directory at warriorsfund.org/state/north-carolina surfaces VA Medical Centers (Asheville, Durham, Fayetteville, Salisbury), all 100 North Carolina County Veterans Service Officers, and NCDMVA state veterans homes (Black Mountain, Fayetteville, Kinston, Salisbury).

Camp Lejeune toxic-water exposure (1953-1987) presumptive coverage is particularly relevant here — the directory cross-links to /condition/al-amyloidosis, /condition/bladder-cancer, /condition/kidney-cancer, /condition/hepatic-steatosis, and other Camp Lejeune presumptives, plus the dedicated /howto/file-camp-lejeune-claim tutorial.

North Carolina-specific benefits indexed include the NC Property Tax Exclusion for disabled veterans (up to $45,000 home value), Veterans Education Assistance, and the NC State Veterans Tuition Waiver. Topic-specific subpages cover Mental Health, Housing, Employment, Healthcare, Claims Help, Crisis Support.

NC donors should search EIN 86-1336741 in DAF portals. Wounded Warriors holds the Candid 2026 Platinum Seal.

Camp Lejeune is the most consequential single-base presumptive in the entire PACT Act framework — over a million Marines, sailors, and family members exposed to contaminated water from 1953 to 1987. Many haven't filed because they don't know their kidney cancer or bladder cancer is presumptive. Our North Carolina coverage explicitly surfaces every Lejeune-presumptive condition with the file-claim path.Dillon Parkes, Founder & Executive Director, Wounded Warriors
