Slide 1 / 8 · The opening

17 veterans die by suicide every day. We built AI infrastructure that can route them to verified help in milliseconds.

Wounded Warriors — Texas 501(c)(3), EIN 86-1336741, founded 2021, Candid 2026 Platinum Seal — operates one of the first US veteran-nonprofit MCP servers (43 tools) with 144,900+ veteran resources. We need philanthropic capital to scale this from invention to default infrastructure.

Slide 2 / 8 · The problem

Veteran-aid infrastructure is fragmented, paywalled, or invisible to AI.

When a veteran asks Claude or ChatGPT "find me a CVSO in my county," the AI either hallucinates, sends them to a generic VA.gov page, or — if we're lucky — finds a third-party directory that's 18 months out of date. We built open data infrastructure so AI assistants can answer from a public, citable directory.

22M living US veterans

Of whom ~9M are enrolled in VA healthcare. Many never apply for benefits they earn.

~17/day suicide rate

Roughly 17 veterans die by suicide every day per VA Mission Daybreak. Many had no clear path to mental-health resources.

An open MCP server

Wounded Warriors launched a 43-tool Model Context Protocol server in early 2026 so AI assistants can query our directory directly.

Slide 3 / 8 · The solution we built

An open veteran-data layer, served directly to AI agents.

144,900+ directory listings, 109,000+ of them pinned to their census tract. 5 open datasets totaling 388,000+ records under CC-BY 4.0. 43 specialized AI agent tools. 32 documented API endpoints. All free, open, and auth-less.

The compounding moat

As more veterans search Google or talk to ChatGPT, our infrastructure answers. Each dollar of funding compounds — directly into program work today, and indirectly into the data layer that scales to every veteran in the country.

Slide 6 / 8 · The team and why now

Founder-built. AI-native from day one.

Wounded Warriors was founded in 2021 by Dillon Parkes — a U.S. Navy veteran and full-stack developer who built the 144,900+-record directory, federal data integrations, and AI agent infrastructure end-to-end. The reason we're early to the MCP server is that we operate as a tech company that happens to be a charity, instead of a charity that happens to have a website.

The MCP protocol was published by Anthropic in late 2024. We launched our server in early 2026. We believe Wounded Warriors is positioned at an inflection point where AI assistants need verified veteran-aid data and few organizations have supplied it. This window narrows as Big Tech and large nonprofits catch up — typically 18-36 months. We need philanthropic capital now to scale the lead.

Slide 7 / 8 · The ask

What $X funds.

$10K-$25K

Funds 200+ Care Packages for hospitalized veterans. Or goes toward Emergency Aid (applications currently paused; gifts fund the next cycle), which helps veteran families avoid eviction.

$25K-$100K

Underwrites a named program for the year. Sponsors hormone replacement therapy (HRT) support for a full cohort of veterans through partner clinics.

$100K-$500K

Funds the next data integration milestone (HUD AMI, VA SAIL hospital quality), Spanish-language content + crisis line mirror, and grant program scale-up.

$500K+ multi-year

Anchor institutional funder for the open-data infrastructure. Permanent recognition. Quarterly direct briefings with the founder. Influence on which datasets we tackle next.
