About Wounded Warrior Project
Wounded Warrior Project Inc channels major grant dollars to medical centers, veteran-service nonprofits, and family-support organizations serving post-9/11 wounded, ill, and injured veterans, service members, caregivers, and families. Its recent grants show a pattern of very large awards to a relatively small set of partners over multiple years, including Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and Emory University in Atlanta. The foundation also backs veteran-facing infrastructure and support systems, such as the Wounded Warrior Project Long Term Support Trust in Wilmington and US Army Community & Family Support at Fort Sam Houston. The organization’s public summary emphasizes that these programs, services, and advocacy efforts are offered at no cost to the people they serve. Its active community partnerships program is aimed at expanding access to resources, amplifying Wounded Warrior Project’s programs, and filling gaps in priority areas such as connection and community integration, family resiliency and caregivers, financial wellness and wrap-around services, and seen and unseen wounds. Recent grants also reach hospitals and health systems in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Boston, indicating a strong emphasis on service delivery through established institutions.
What Wounded Warrior Project Funds
A major thread in the grant record is health care for wounded veterans and service members. The foundation gave $14,361,089 to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston in 2024 and $8,052,190 to Rush University Medical Center in Chicago in 2025, both listed with Schedule I references. Mental health and unseen wounds are another recurring area. In 2023, Wounded Warrior Project Inc awarded $750,000 to Headstrong Project Inc in New York and $1,000,000 to Travis Manion Foundation in Doylestown for 2023 support. Family support organizations also appear prominently. The funder gave $750,000 to National Military Family Association Inc in Alexandria in both 2023 and 2025, and $750,000 to Caring for Military Families Elizabeth Dole Foundation in Washington, DC in 2023. Housing and stabilization are reflected in a $634,350 grant to Homes for Our Troops Inc in Taunton in 2024.
How Wounded Warrior Project Gives
Typical grant sizes are substantial: the 25th percentile is $97,463, the median is $200,000, and the 75th percentile is $400,000. The recent-grants list also shows repeated awards to the same organizations across multiple years, including Boston, Chicago, Atlanta, and several national military-family groups. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than isolated one-off gifts. Wounded Warrior Project Inc is classified as a regular funder, and the active community partnerships program makes grants to nonprofit partners in the United States.
