According to an independent scientific survey conducted by a leading consortium of recreational programs for veterans, the WWIA ranked #1 out of 78 participating military charities in terms of overall program performance, staff/volunteer support, and client satisfaction.
The Wounded Warriors in Action Foundation Inc. (WWIA) serves our nation’s combat-wounded Purple Heart recipients by providing world-class outdoor sporting activities as a means to recognize and honor their sacrifice, encourage independence and connections with communities, and promote healing and wellness through camaraderie and a shared passion for the outdoors.
WWIA provided real services to 181 Purple Heart recipients this past year. WWIA encourages American Heroes to get back in action; hunting and fishing provide excellent opportunities to assist our wounded veterans in recovering— mentally, physically, and spiritually—from their wartime experiences.
In 2021, WWIA held 39 events across 19 states. Through opportunities like whitetail deer hunting in Tennessee, halibut fishing in Alaska, and bear hunting in Wisconsin, these Heroes experience a wide variety of opportunities that fulfill lifelong dreams.
WWIA prides itself on fiscal responsibility, financial transparency and maintaining a very low overhead. Ninety percent (90%) of all donations directly support field activities. Independent Charities of America (ICA), a nonprofit association of America's best charities, has recognized WWIA as meeting the highest standards of public accountability and program effectiveness. We were also awarded a gold seal of financial transparency from Guide Star.
