WarriorWOD's corporate giving programs fund a six-month veteran PTSD recovery program that measures every veteran, every month. Your company's gift pays for exercise, nutrition coaching, and a peer mentor who has been there. As a result, you see what changed on the same PTSD and suicide-risk scales the VA and DoD use.
Veterans entered above the PCL-5 clinical threshold for probable PTSD and exited below it, in an evaluation run by the College of Charleston under separate grant funding.

18.2M US military veterans nationwide. The 2023 veteran suicide rate of 35.2 per 100,000 is 93.4% higher than the non-veteran adult rate of 18.2 per 100,000. Veterans are nearly twice as likely as their civilian peers to die by suicide.
Untreated PTSD sits underneath much of that risk. Yet most veteran programs run for a few weeks, address one piece of the problem, and never measure what changed afterward.
WarriorWOD works the other way. Every veteran is scored on the PCL-5 (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5) and the C-SSRS suicide-risk scale at intake and every month for 26 weeks. For that reason, your company can report the result of its gift in the same terms a clinician would use.
Donors cover the full cost of the six-month program, and veterans pay nothing. Every corporate dollar maps to a line item below, so your finance team knows exactly what it bought.
Pick the path that fits your budget cycle, your workforce, and how visible you want the partnership to be. Paths can be combined.

How matching worksHost a Donation WOD for your team at your office or a partner gym. Your employees train together and raise funds for a Warrior Class.
Gym access, nutrition products, equipment, or professional services. Each one lowers the cost of a veteran's recovery and lets donor dollars go further.
Invite customers to round up at checkout. Their spare change, pooled at $1,500 a veteran, funds full six-month recoveries.
If your company gives through a foundation, we supply the outcome data, itemized budget, and Form 990 your grants committee will ask for.
Foundation grant materialsEach tier funds a set number of complete six-month recoveries. Recognition, co-branding, and reporting terms are agreed in writing with each sponsor before the gift is made.

Many employers match employee donations, but the match only happens when someone files the request. A $750 gift, matched one-to-one, funds one veteran's full recovery. Employees can use the employee matching gifts guide to file their request.
The College of Charleston did not submit its findings to WarriorWOD for review before release. The data belongs to the literature, not to us.
An independent evaluation by the College of Charleston (Dr. Katie Trejo Tello, Ph.D., grant SCTR CES-P UM1TR005294) found a statistically significant 14.42-point reduction in PCL-5 PTSD scores among WarriorWOD program completers (pre: 43.37, post: 28.95; p<.001, Cohen's d=1.33, n=21 matched pairs). Post-program scores fell below the 31-33 clinical threshold for probable PTSD.
WarriorWOD offers six corporate giving paths: Warrior Class sponsorship, employee matching gifts, corporate events and Donation WODs, in-kind contributions, retail round-up campaigns, and corporate foundation grants. Each one funds the six-month veteran PTSD recovery program at $1,500 per veteran.
WarriorWOD Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 87-1065126. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Your company receives a written acknowledgment for every gift, and we recommend confirming treatment with your tax advisor.
$1,500 funds one veteran's complete six-month recovery. That covers nutrition coaching ($600), a Preferred Partner Gym membership ($575+), training programming ($125), InBody assessments ($100), program support ($75), and Battle Buddy mentorship ($25). Veterans pay nothing.
WarriorWOD measures PTSD outcomes using the PCL-5 (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5) and C-SSRS (Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale), both validated instruments used by the VA and DoD, administered at intake and every month throughout the six-month program.
Yes. An independent College of Charleston evaluation led by Dr. Katie Trejo Tello, Ph.D. (grant SCTR CES-P UM1TR005294) found a 14.42-point PCL-5 reduction (p<.001, Cohen's d=1.33, n=21 matched pairs). The study is pending peer review and was not subject to WarriorWOD review before release.
