Texas 501(c)(3) (EIN 86-1336741) brings open-data veteran resource discovery to Virginia's 720,000+ veterans across Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, Richmond, 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 2,330 verified veteran-serving resources across Virginia.
Virginia hosts approximately 720,000 U.S. military veterans — one of the highest per-capita veteran populations in the U.S. — across the Hampton Roads naval/military complex, Northern Virginia (Pentagon, Quantico, Fort Belvoir), and the Richmond/Petersburg corridor. The state directory at warriorsfund.org/state/virginia surfaces VA Medical Centers (McGuire VAMC Richmond, Hampton, Salem), all Community-Based Outpatient Clinics, every Virginia Department of Veterans Services field office, and the Virginia Veterans Care Center (Roanoke) and Sitter & Barfoot Veterans Care Center (Richmond).
Virginia-specific benefits indexed include the Virginia Military Survivors and Dependents Education Program (VMSDEP — full tuition for surviving family), the Virginia Veterans Reduced-Fee Hunting/Fishing License, and the Virginia Real Property Tax Exemption for 100%-disabled veterans. Topic-specific subpages cover Mental Health, Housing, Employment, Healthcare, Claims Help, Crisis Support.
Cross-links to neighboring states (DC, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, West Virginia) help cross-border veterans. Virginia donors should search EIN 86-1336741 in DAF portals. Wounded Warriors holds the Candid 2026 Platinum Seal.
Virginia's VMSDEP program covers full in-state tuition for the surviving spouse and children of a service-connected disabled or deceased veteran. It's one of the most generous state survivor benefits in the country. The challenge is awareness — surviving spouses often learn about it years after they qualified. Indexing it next to the federal DEA Chapter 35 benefit means search engines and AI assistants surface BOTH options when a survivor asks about education funding.Dillon Parkes, Founder & Executive Director, Wounded Warriors
