So .5% of what you donate might make it to those they actually claim to support. I would have picked a charity with a better % of funds that actually make it to the cause they are supporting. WWP is like the NFL now..

Not sure where the 0.5% figure came from. According to charitynavigator.org the programs and services delivered by WWP account for 59.9% of donations.

It does appear that there is some controversy with WWP regarding the executive salaries and bonuses.

I will share your sugggestion of looking for a charity with a higher percentage of donations used to support this cause, but it would be for next year.

Thanks

They have fallen under quite a bit of scrutiny lately and are not what they started out as. I would recommend any of the following:

4 Wheel to Heal
Fisher House Foundation
Dogs on Deployment

The .5% was my exaggeration to point out that they spend way to much on things other than what they state as the mission. I used to give $5k a year to WWP but it now goes to Fisher House who spends most of the money taken in what they actually state.

It's hard to find a charity that isn't dedicated to a specific group of service members, so if anyone's looking for another good option that supports literally every SM out there, the USO is a good option.

Most of what WWP can claim as assistance/support to vets seems to be WWP branded merchandise. It's just another brand now, in my opinion.

I have not.

I just looked up Fisher House Foundation, and they are at 91%, that's impressive!

Thanks
