Wounded Warrior Project Partners with THF for 2022

July 11, 2022

The Honor Foundation is thrilled to once again be named as community partner grant recipient of the Wounded Warrior Project to support the transitioning members of the Special Operations Forces community. This partnership plays a monumental role in the launch of our THF Eglin and THF Tampa Campuses this fall. 

“Wounded Warrior Project understands the needs of wounded veterans, service members, caregivers, and military families are growing, and that no single organization can meet these challenges alone,” said WWP CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Linnington. “By working together with others, we can create a truly integrated and collaborative ecosystem of support, ensuring the military and veteran community is able to thrive long term.”

Thank you Wounded Warrior Project for being an advocate of The Honor Foundation and our commitment to “serve others with honor, for life, so their next mission is clear and continues to impact the world.” We will go #furthertogether by combining our efforts to help military veterans succeed in their journey after active duty service.

Wounded Warrior Project Empowers Veterans Through The Honor Foundation

WASHINGTON (Mar. 18, 2019) – Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) announces a new partnership with The Honor Foundation (THF), a nonprofit that has developed a nationally recognized transition program for the military’s special operations forces community. This program helps special operators successfully transition from military to civilian life and attain gainful careers.

This $100,000 grant will provide funding for fellows to participate in THF’s Transition Institute, which combines one-on-one executive coaching and industry mentoring, three months of class instruction, and access to an elite, nationwide professional network. The grant will also support fellows attending a THF TREK, the capstone immersion experience of the program that provides access to some of nation’s leading businesses.

“Returning to civilian life and finding purpose can be a challenge for any service member,” said WWP CEO Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Mike Linnington. “Fortunately, organizations like The Honor Foundation understand that this critically important and life-changing transition can be effectively managed with the right resources. We’re proud to work alongside them as they help our nation’s warriors find a new mission in their civilian careers.”

“We are thrilled to be working alongside Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that has already driven such powerful change in the lives of countless veterans,” said THF CEO Matt Stevens. “It’s an honor for The Honor Foundation to serve our Special Operations Forces in their transitions to civilian life and its humbling that Wounded Warrior Project sees the value of that mission. We’re grateful for their support and excited to grow our impact on the lives of transitioning Special Operators.”
