Hope For The Warriors

What Hope For The Warriors does

Hope For The Warriors is a national nonprofit serving the post-9/11 military community: veterans, active-duty service members, military spouses and caregivers, and families of the fallen. Military spouses who had seen the effects of war founded it in 2006. It is headquartered in Springfield, Virginia, has representatives in all 50 states, and says more than 70% of its staff come from military families.

Its programs cover critical-needs assistance, clinical support services, veteran peer support, the Warrior's Compass program, scholarships for military spouses and caregivers, Warrior's Wish, and Team Hope For The Warriors athletic events. The organization reports that 916 people received care at its clinic in Jacksonville, North Carolina. It also says it impacted more than 47,000 military lives in 2024, a year when demand for its services rose 24%.

Independent evaluators rate it well. Charity Navigator scores it 98% with four stars, and CharityWatch gives it an A. For fiscal 2023, CharityWatch calculated that 89% of spending went to programs and that the group spent $5 to raise each $100.
