The simplest way I describe WWP is they are non-profit profiteers.
Good question.
Based on the replies, we will continue to donate monthly to the Salvation Army and to them for special needs like the forest fires in our state.
I’ll ask my neice, who just left the position of Director of Digital Media Communications for the Wounded Warrior Partnership, in Augusta,GA.
I think that having a Wounded Warriors program is a NATIONAL DISGRACE! If I were President I would put them out of business immediately! What the hell kind of a country do we have that needs a charity to help wounded soldiers that were wounded and disabled defending this country! Dump the food stamp program and give it all to the wounded soldiers! Same for 90% of the other welfare that goes to 99 million people who are sitting on their a$$ instead of working.
I give to our local veterans council. They run transportation to get vets to the VA hospital, help shut ins and homeless vets and have little overhead as they’re staffed by mostly volunteers. Look local and help those in the community where you live.

If you send money to these guys, every penny will go to the soldiers because the overhead and admin are already covered by the military.
They suck. I posted their financials here a few weeks ago.
Big exec salaries, 30% goes to fundraising and I think it was 58% went to programs for vets. They stockpiled the majority of their $$ and did not spend it.
Wounded Warriors exists because of the shortfalls and mismanagement that the Veterans Administration has become.
Wounded Warriors is an anti-2A organization.
Their particular ad campaigns attempt to tug at folks’ hearts, just like those ASPCA ads that now show, of all places, on The Food Network.
Since their percentages of disbursement lean heavy towards management’s slice of the pie, they don’t get my pennies.
I give, as I can, to a Native American School for kids ... St. Joseph’s, in South Dakota.
A couple years ago they were refusing contributions from Christian organizations.
While I have the utmost respect for our wounded service men and women; I refuse to give the worthless "Wounded Warrior's Project" a penny for our hard earned money! They don't want to receive donations from Christians, so be it... the so-called "Wounded Warrior's Project" and the "leadership" that run it can rot as far as we are concerned!
