The numbers can wait. ## Monthly Giving Funded the Veteran PTSD Recovery That Brought Jill Back. Jill, U.S. Air Force. Six months. A gym, a nutrition coach, and a Battle Buddy who had been where she was. Today she mentors the next Warrior Class through their recovery. Monthly donors funded every week of it. > "The workout was the door. My Battle Buddy was the reason I walked back through it." > > Jill, U.S. Air Force veteran The math ## 500 Monthly Donors at $22 Fund 88 Veteran Recoveries a Year One complete six-month recovery costs $1,500. Nobody expects you to cover that alone. At $22 a month, 500 donors put $11,000 into the program every month. That is $132,000 a year. That is 88 veterans through the full program, every year, with no gap between Warrior Classes. $22 a month is the number that gets the next veteran off the waiting list. $125 a month is the number that carries one veteran all the way through. Both matter. Start where you can.

From our Champions ## Why Monthly Donors Give Hear directly from donors about what drives their monthly commitment to veteran recovery. > "My son served four years and came back different. Not broken, just different, and we didn't know how to reach him. He found WarriorWOD before we did. Watching him graduate was the first time I breathed easy in years. Fifty dollars a month is nothing compared to that." *Patricia W. **$50/mo** Champion Monthly Donor since 2023 · Champion since 2024* > "I lost a friend to suicide two years after he got home. He never asked for help and none of us knew how to offer it. I give every month because I want the next guy to have something to grab onto when he's ready." *Jennifer M. **$100/mo** Champion Monthly Donor since 2022 · Champion since 2023* > "I'm a veteran myself. Twelve years in, two deployments, and I know what it feels like to come home and not recognize yourself. I can't mentor every guy who needs it. But I can write a check and know someone else is showing up for them." *Marcus T. **$150/mo** Founding Champion Monthly Donor since 2021 · Champion since 2022* > "I run a small business. I've tried bigger charities and honestly could never tell if the money actually did anything. WarriorWOD sends me a report every quarter. I know the cohort. I know the outcomes. That's why I've stayed for three years." *David R. **$250/mo** Founding Champion Monthly Donor since 2022 · Champion since 2023* Champions Wall ## Honoring Our Monthly Donors.

Tax-deductible. EIN 87-1065126. Common questions ## Monthly Giving for Veteran PTSD Recovery: Common Questions ### How does monthly giving for veteran PTSD recovery work at WarriorWOD? Your gift processes automatically each month and goes to the next Warrior Class. Monthly giving starts at $22. A full six-month recovery costs $1,500, so $125 a month carries one veteran all the way through, and 500 donors at $22 carry 88 veterans a year. Change, pause, or cancel anytime from your Classy account. No contract, no minimum term. ### What does $22 a month actually pay for? $22 a month is $264 a year. Pooled with other Warrior Supporters, it buys the itemized pieces of a $1,500 recovery: nutrition coaching ($600), gym membership at a Preferred Partner Gym ($575 and up), structured programming ($125), monthly InBody assessments ($100), program support ($75), and Battle Buddy mentorship ($25). 93 cents of every dollar reaches the program. ### What proof exists that monthly giving for veteran PTSD recovery produces results? An independent study led by Dr. Katie Trejo Tello, Ph.D., Associate Professor at the College of Charleston (grant SCTR CES-P UM1TR005294), measured a 14.42-point PCL-5 reduction: 43.37 at intake, 28.95 at exit. Veterans entered above the clinical PTSD threshold and exited below it. p \< .001. Cohen's d = 1.33. The study was not subject to WarriorWOD review before release. Peer review is pending. Across 265 program completers, 90.4% see PTSD symptom reduction. ### Is my monthly donation to WarriorWOD Foundation tax-deductible? Yes. WarriorWOD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 87-1065126. You get a confirmation email each month and one consolidated receipt every January. ### Can my employer match my monthly giving for veteran PTSD recovery? Many employers match monthly gifts dollar for dollar. Give your HR department the name WarriorWOD Foundation and EIN 87-1065126. A matched $22 becomes $44, and 250 matched donors do the work of 500. We also accept recurring grants from donor-advised funds. ### Who qualifies for the program my monthly giving funds? U.S. military veterans with PTSD, suicidal ideation, or substance misuse. Veterans pay nothing; donors fund the full $1,500. Veterans apply at [warriorwod.org/program/](https://warriorwod.org/program/). Each Warrior Class is funded before it starts, which is why a recurring $22 does more than a one-time $22. ### When is my card charged, and what happens if a payment fails? Your card is charged on the same date each month, starting the day you join. If a payment fails, Classy retries and emails you. Nothing lapses without notice, and you can update your card from your Classy account. ## Monthly Giving Starts at $22. Every Dollar Goes to the Next Warrior Class. Set your monthly level below. 93 cents of every dollar reaches the program. 500 donors at $22 fund 88 recoveries a year. You do not need to fund a whole recovery. You need to be one of the 500.
