THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION IS TO HONOR AND EMPOWER THE WOUNDED WARRIOR THROUGH MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT. OUR PURPOSE IS THREEFOLD: TO RAISE AWARENESS AND ENLIST THE PUBLIC'S AID FOR THE NEEDS OF SEVERELY INJURED SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN; TO HELP SEVERELY INJURED SERVICE MEMBERS AID AND ASSIST EACH OTHER; AND TO PROVIDE UNIQUE, DIRECT PROGRAMS AND SERVICES TO MEET THEIR NEEDS. CONTRIBUTIONS ARE RECEIVED PRIMARILY THROUGH INDIVIDUAL DONATIONS AND SPONSORSHIPS. 0 0 4335469 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION - The Alumni program offers assistance, commmunication, and camraderie for wounded warriors as they continue life beyond injury. WWP alumni stay engaged and active through WWP programs and events. The Alumni program offers a wide range of activities including educational sessions and sporting and social events that provide individuals a chance to connect with other wounded warriors. It also includes our WWP Affinity program which provides discounted products and services to all WWP alumni in partnership with Veterans Advantage. The Affinity program helps WWP by encouraging warriors to update their alumni information annually in order to stay active in the program. The Alumni program also identifies, trains, and challenges leaders within the wounded warrior population to represent their peers in their communities across the country. 3474605 548046 TRACK - TRACK is the first education center in the nation designed specifically for wounded warriors. TRACK is focused on providing college and employment access to wounded warriors and is an intensive and holistic training experience for the mind, body, and spirit. It is a 12-month program with dual emphasis on college prep and job preparedness. The first half of the program is primarily academic and classroom based where students receive ancillary support services consisting of peak performance training through Apex Performance, health and wellness training, personal finance workshops, and resume and interview preparation assistance. For the second half of TRACK, an externship component with a local employer is added, while students continue with academic classes and support services. The vocational training gained in the externship phase is invaluable to assist in the transition of warriors from the military to a successful civilian life. 3118547 57125 OUTREACH - The Outreach program is the initial contact wounded warriors have with WWP while at a MTF, WTU or WWB (located in Germany or across the country) and in their home communities. The Outreach team aids warriors in their transition back to civilian life and ensures they are referred to the appropriate WWP program or provided with other non-WWP resources that may be available. The Outreach team is ultimately responsible for establishing the relationship between WWP and the warrior. 11396093 337850 WWP PACKS - $2,326,495 - WWP Packs contain essential care and comfort items including clothing, toiletries, playings cards, and more, all designed to make a warrior's hospital stay more comfortable. Backpacks are provided to wounded service members arriving at military trauma centers across the United States. A smaller version of the WWP backback, Transitional Care Packs (TCP's), are sent overseas to provide immediate comfort during a warrior's evacuation from field hospitals to larger military treatment facilities stateside and overseas. BENEFITS SERVICES - $1,906,817 - The Benefits Service program provides support, education, and claims representation to wounded warriors. This includes advising warriors on benefits and providing information on how to access them through the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Social Security. Accessing benefits can be the foundation to a warrior's future success. SOLDIER RIDE - $1,635,392 including grants of $52,850 - Soldier Ride provides adaptive cycling opportunities across the country for wounded warriors. The rides are typically three to five days long and are geared toward warriors of all abilities. Adaptive and standard cycling equipment is provided to warriors based on the type of injury. In addition to the physical benefit, Soldier Ride helps raise public awareness of the challenges warriors face today through events held throughout the ride, Warriors will have the opportunity to take part in annual events from the South Lawn of the White House to local communities across the nation that will challenge them physically and mentally.COMBAT STRESS RECOVERY - $1,474,815 - The Combat Stress Recovery Program (CSRP) was developed to address the mental health and cognitive needs of returning service members and those that have already made the transition back to civilian life. The CSRP responds to the mental health needs of our warriors by addressing several key issues linked to combat stress including the stigma attached to mental health, access to care, and interpersonal relationship challenges. WWP serves warriors at various stages of the readjustment process through innovative programming auch as Project Odyssey or the online combat stress recovery program, Restore. PHYSICAL HEALTH & REHABILIATION - $1,102,798 including grants of $285,000 - The Physical Health & Rehabilitation program has three strategic objectives: 1) provide comprehensive recreation and sports programs to optimize physical and psychological well-being of warriors; 2) develop physical health promotion strategies to improve warriors' physical health; 3) ensure warriors with severe physical injuries have access to secondary physical rehabilitation and the latest technology to maximize their independence. The program is inclusive of all warriors including those with amputations, spinal cord injuries, burns, visual impairments, traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other cognitive and mental health conditions. By challenging the warrior through physical activity, such as sports and recreation, he/she moves beyond rehabilitation to continue on a path toward physical health and well-being. In addition, WWP's physical fitness and health promotion programs aim to assist warriors to adopt a healthy lifestyle that will benefit them throughout their lifetime. TRANSITION TRAINING ACADEMY - $1,094,035 - The Transition Training Academy (TTA) provides innovative information technology (IT) training to wounded warriors who are still on active duty. TTA classes are taught in a modified classroom setting with flexible class schedules to accomodate participants' medical and duty requirements during rehabilitation in military treatment facilities. Courses include: Computers and Society, Computer Hardware, Operating Systems, Computer Applications, Small Office/Home Office, the Internet, Mobile Computing, and Security, all of which align to industry-recognized certifications. TTA utilizes a web-based "Virtual Learning Environment" (VLE), created this past fiscal year to support scaled program growth and impact measurement. VLE allows the program to develop content customized to its targeted population across the country and overseas. TTA was developed in partnership with CISCO Systems, Inc. and the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), Current TTA sites are located at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD), California; Camp Pendleton Marine Base, California; 32nd Naval Base, San Diego, California; Fort Irwin, California; Brooke Army Medical Center, Fort Sam Houston, Texas; and Fort Bragg, North Carolina. FAMILY SUPPORT - $1,063,697 - The Family Support program provides support and respite programs for a wounded warrior's family members and/or caregiver. When a service member is wounded, the injury places tremendous stress on the individual's family members, many of whom face a new role as full-time caregiver and advocate for their recovery. These caregivers are integral to the warrior's successful recovery and, as such, need special programs and services to address their unique concerns and needs. We will continue to strengthen our existing Caregiver Retreat program, expanding from six to eight retreats and providing additional follow-on services. PEER MENTORING - $454,415 - Peer monitoring is the programmatic embodiment of WWP's logo, fostering relationships that enable one warrior to help another through the recovery process. WWP peer mentors are trained to be resources, listeners, and "hospital buddies," who can share their understanding and perspective. Over the past two years, WWP has trained and certified over 250 peer mentors around the country. WARRIORS TO WORK - $337,629 - Warriors to Work (WtoW) is one of the cornerstones of WWP's efforts to achieve its strategic goal of economically empowering wounded warriors. WtoW assists wounded warriors with their transition to the workforce. WtoW offers a complete package of employment assitance services including resume assistance, interviewing skills, networking, job training, and job placement. WtoW program staff provide continued individual counseling and personal support to all program participants as they strive to build a career in the civilian workforce. 11396093 337850 22324714 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 39 0 1 125 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 13 13 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR AZ CA CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS ND NH NJ NM NY NC OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WA WV WI X X CINDY MCDONALD 9042967350 7020 A C SKINNER PKWY JACKSONVILLE FL 322566938 ANTHONY PRINCIPI 5.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES BATTAGLIA 5.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES S ABELL 5.00 X 0 0 0 DAWN HALFAKER 5.00 X 0 0 0 GUY H MCMICHAEL III 5.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN LOOSEN 5.00 X 0 0 0 KEVIN DELANEY 5.00 X 0 0 0 MELISSA STOCKWELL 5.00 X 0 0 0 RON DRACH 5.00 X 0 0 0 GORDON MANSFIELD 5.00 X 0 0 0 ANDREW KINARD 5.00 X 0 0 0 ANTHONY ODIERNO 5.00 X 0 0 0 ROGER CAMPBELL 5.00 X 0 0 0 ALBION GIORDANO 40.00 X 181279 0 15203 JEREMY CHWAT 40.00 X 150139 0 15203 STEVEN NARDIZZI 40.00 X 199171 0 11024 ADAM SILVA 40.00 X 130797 0 16224 RONALD W BURGESS 40.00 X 0 0 0 BRUCE NITSCHE 40.00 X 132594 0 5317 JOHN ROBERTS 40.00 X 132459 0 16224 ABIGAIL REINER 40.00 X 126076 0 5317 RALPH J IBSON 40.00 X 136800 0 10006 VICTORIA NEMERSON 40.00 X 116085 0 16224 JEFFREY SEARCY 40.00 X 116732 0 11327 JOHN MELIA X 230000 0 0 1652132 0 122069 14 1 1 0 CREATIVE DIRECT RESPONSE 16900 SCIENCE DR STE 210 BOWIE MD 20715 DIRECT MAIL SERVICE 1485886 PLOWSHARE GROUP INC ONE DOCK STREET STAMFORD CT 06902 PSA DISTRIBUTION 646363 KUTAK ROCK LLP 1650 FARNAM STREET OMAHA NE 68102 LEGAL SERVICES 339997 APEX PERFORMANCE INC 14045 BALLANTYNE CORPORATE PLACE CHARLOTTE NC 28277 TRAINING FOR TRACK PROGRAM 260080 MERIDAN GROUP 575 LYNNHAVEN PARKWAY VIRGINIA BEACH VA 23452 PUBLIC RELATIONS CONSULTANT 254261 12 989541 39336766 1448135 40326307 174703 174703 13960513 13792015 168498 168498 168498 175940 989541 455303 -279363 -279363 61045 61045 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 553449 553449 553449 40943594 0 0 617287 363480 363480 579541 579541 1021638 688768 173457 159413 6462115 4350535 757089 1354491 144474 76006 44549 23919 1016925 757488 24539 234898 583303 338419 142436 102448 225863 225863 46325 46325 907188 907188 57405 57405 291131 290200 931 5744425 3409072 186375 2148978 700364 511998 144134 44232 1907895 1486432 161134 260329 785287 489769 198169 97349 97914 62958 21314 13642 OUTSIDE SERVICES 5518706 3098340 370390 2049976 DIRECT MAIL 4251746 2949782 1301964 MEETINGS AND EVENTS 1741226 1184265 86159 470802 PROMOTIONAL ITEMS 1639489 1487496 13185 138808 MISCELLANEOUS 302058 200165 18133 83760 34388498 22324714 2670656 9393128 X 11606869 6687371 0 4919498 20015 267944 5129174 4320018 356907 339006 71267 717687 177326 89034 161307 3330371 1933914 1678426 1396457 1473311 10458602 146134 145384 9610688 17337311 1783988 2771786 1783988 2771786 X 6812879 13458225 13821 107300 1000000 1000000 7826700 14565525 9610688 17337311 X 0 1 1 X 0 X 10052158 18480909 21201221 25306760 39336766 114377814 10052158 18480909 21201221 25306760 39336766 114377814 2390190 111987624 37176 137951 91719 139909 232108 638863 115016677 0.97370 X 3000 60500 63500 34324998 34388498 1000000 250000 0 0 1000000 1000000 2000000 3000000 41000 63500 104500 250000 250000 500000 750000 5000 3000 8000 1093590 63710 50000 1107300 1000000 143590 50000 1093590 0.90300 0.09700 0 0 1302403 877534 424869 1870843 899255 971588 157125 157125 0 1396457 40943594 34388498 6555096 183729 183729 6738825 73707062 183729 32579739 32763468 40943594 0 40943594 66968237 32579739 32579739 34388498 0 34388498 Part V, Line 4: Description of Intended Use of Endowment Funds: As of September 30, 2010, the Organization has one endowment, which is classified as permanently restricted.

This program increases the hospital staff's morale at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center(LRMC), Ramstein Air Base, and other hospitals downrange through a poster and video campaign with warrior success stories. WWP also provides day trips to local attractions in Germany for hospital staff. The curriculum for these trips includes team building exercises, rope course, and fun.
