Wounded Warrior Project Saw $70 Million Drop In Donations Last Fiscal Year
by Joshua Raymond-Castro · May 10, 2017
Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) was down $70 million dollars in donations during the second part of 2016, according to newly released financial records from the charity. The drop reflects just how the charity was affected when two of its top officials were fired last year for misappropriating funds and overspending.
According to Military.com, Chief Executive Officer Mike Linnington says the sharp decline in donor confidence has “leveled out.” Many people were hesitant to donate after the scandal of misappropriation led them to believe their donations were no longer going to support wounded veterans, but were instead being used to fund lavish business meetings with top executives.
