Wounded Warrior Project

Have been an Advanced Guard member for two years, but recent publicity has given me second thoughts. Tried, in vain, to contact WWP to inform them that I will no longer allow my credit card to be billed for the monthly donation. I sent emails to various WWP addresses, each of which assured me that «a member of our dedicated staff will respond soon…» What I received were several canned emails directing me to other addresses where I could donate money, each of which informed that no actual person (dedicated staff member?) would actually be contacting me. I finally had to contact my credit card company to put a merchant block on my card to prevent WWP from taking more money. I am a Vietnam Veteran on a limited income. I think I can find better ways to funnel my charity dollars to veteran groups that will actually use the money for warriors.

It is one thing to use 40% of your donations for fancy parties and fundraising… that is questionable, but it is a business. But, when I read the NYT article and saw how they were prone to fire folks who asked about high expenses, and pursue smaller charities through legal action, that was it for me.
Many better choices. Special Operations Warrior Foundation is one.

Read the reviews before donating! I’ve donated my time, money, and volunteer efforts to this organization and never will help them again. I’ve witnessed the extravagance of corporate greed in outrageous lavish conferences. A recent report reveals the organization spent $ 26 million in corporate retreats, conferences, meetings, etc. What charity spends that much money on themselves instead of being a non-​profit and helping wounded warriors that they claim is their purpose. mission? How do these people sleep at night? Money gained illegally eventually begets those in the worst way. No worries, their karma is coming three-​fold to them and their families…

Sadly, I have questions about the Wounded Warrior Project. Of course, I’m supportive of the cause, but suspicious of the organization itself. Here is what I witnessed: I attended a Triple-​A baseball game, sitting in the box seat area. I had to pass by a box seat and enclosed room for the Wounded Warrior Project as I walked to the concession area on the first floor. The door was flung open each time I passed, allowing clear view of fancy food and drink being served to the raucous WWP guests. The party seemed quite lavish to me, so I started to take closer notice. Not once did I see anyone with obvious physical wounds or disabilities. I know many wounds are unseen; however, I left the game having considerable unease and a sense of impropriety about this organization.

do your online research. it’s easy to find this is a bogus «charity».
the administrators each super high salaries, pan out the rest
of what’s left over to other administrators of other such charities.
and think about it for a minute. are they not doing what the
VA is already doing?
put your money somewhere where the majority of it goes to
it’s intended purpose!

Voted best non profit to work for two years in a row, who wouldn’t want to work here?
