FAQs

You: What is White Heart?
Us: We’re a nonprofit that helps our nation's post-9/11 injured warriors.

You: Oh, I don’t trust nonprofits.  There are so many shady ones out there.
Us: That there are. Fair enough.  But we’re different.

You: How?
Us: We encourage you to donate straight to our warriors and programs – so you know exactly where your money is going. Plus, if you choose to pay your credit card transaction fees, 100% of your donation will go where you intended.

You: Really?
Us: Yes.

You: Rad.
Us: I know, right?

You: Then how do you pay for your operations?
Us: We have angel donors who cover the cost of our operations. We also receive grants, corporate matching funds, and hold events from time-to-time to make sure your dollars are being used as you intended.

You: Do you just cut a check to the hero?
Us: No.  We handle all of the money to ensure it is used properly.  In other words, if we are purchasing a piece of rehabilitation equipment for an injured warrior - we pay the manufacturer directly for that equipment. In some instances, we issue reimbursements for efficiency.

You: How do you pick your White Heart Warriors?
Us: We have many personal connections with rehabilitation hospitals, military installations, etc.  This helps us get a better evaluation of their needs. Most of our warriors have been introduced to the foundation organically through other White Heart Warriors.

You: What warriors do you help?
Us: Our board has pinpointed warriors that have the toughest path to recovery. That is, they must be be post-9/11 veterans who were injured in a military related accident - not necessarily combat. Multiple amputations, traumatic brain injuries, etc.
