Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is a charity and veterans service organization
that offers a variety of programs, services and events for wounded veterans of
the military actions following September 11, 2001. It operates as a nonprofit
501(c)(3) organization. Wounded Warrior Project was founded in 2003 in Roanoke,
Virginia, by John Melia (its current headquarters are located in Jacksonville,
Florida). Wounded Warrior Project initially operated as a division of the United
Spinal Association of New York (official website:
http://www.unitedspinal.org), which
adopted WWP as a program in November 2003. In September 2005, The United Spinal
Association granted $2.7 million to WWP to "develop into a stand-alone charity
with its own identity and programs," with the intent to expand its services from
providing immediate comfort items to providing longer-term support for returning
wounded veterans via compensation, education, health care, insurance, housing,
employment, etc."
