Wounded Warrior Project
(WWP) is the nation’s leading veterans service organization, dedicated to improving the total well-being of post‑9/11 wounded, ill, and injured veterans, service members, and their families. Our innovative programs and life‑changing services strengthen mental, physical, emotional, and financial wellness—empowering warriors and their loved ones to thrive while helping prevent veteran suicide.
Every day, we help wounded warriors find renewed purpose, build connections in their communities, and provide vital support to their families and caregivers. Beyond offering critical resources, we advocate for veterans’ needs with government policymakers and community leaders, share expertise with healthcare partners, and raise public awareness of their service, sacrifice, and resilience.
