Nonprofit veterans service organization providing free mental health, wellness, benefits, peer, sports, career, and family support to post-9/11 wounded veterans and their families, plus advocacy and public awareness.
Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a nonprofit veterans service organization founded in 2003 and based in the United States. It works to improve the total well-being of post-9/11 wounded, ill, and injured veterans, service members, and their families through free programs and services, advocacy, and public awareness. More than 272,000 warriors, families, and caregivers have received direct support, at no cost to participants. The organisation is donor- and partner-funded and describes itself as the nation's leading veterans service organisation.
Its programme portfolio spans mental health services, physical wellness and recovery, VA benefits assistance, peer support, adaptive sports, career counselling and employment support, and family and caregiver support. Alongside direct services, WWP advocates with government policymakers and community leaders, shares expertise with healthcare partners, and works to raise public awareness of veterans' service and sacrifice.
Wounded Warrior Project operates across the United States and sits at the intersection of several fields: veterans services, mental and behavioural health, physical wellness and rehabilitation, workforce and career development, government policy, and healthcare partnerships. Its stated focus is holistic well-being - mental, physical, emotional, and financial - with a commitment to veteran suicide prevention and to including families and caregivers alongside veterans in its support.
As a philanthropy-supported organisation, its culture is mission-driven and oriented toward service and measurable impact, with values centred on the sacrifice, resilience, and renewed purpose of service members.
