Wounded Charity: Classes Realized from the Wounded Warrior Undertaking Disaster

Wounded Charity provides beneficial insights into how charities reply to crises primarily based on data nobody else has ever coated: documentation from the charity throughout and after the disaster, in addition to candid discussions and interviews with some former members of the charity’s board, government workers, beneficiaries, and even those that generated or printed damaging data.

On its main, story-telling stage, Wounded Charity investigates the hassle to marginalize one in all America’s most significant charities. Its broader stage is about what it means for all charities. Wounded Warrior Undertaking is giant, necessary, and efficient, and it serves wounded veterans in ways in which different charities can not and that the federal government doesn’t, and possibly by no means will. This cautionary, provocative narrative describes how WWP got here to be so closely criticized, why a lot of the criticism was unfounded, why these finally answerable for the charity – the board members – did not do their job, and the way people and the media have to revise their fascinated with what works and what does not work in a sector of our society whose tangible accomplishments, regardless of steadily rising philanthropic assist, largely stay a thriller. It’s also a narrative of management, and the discordancy of punishing, versus rewarding, good concepts and efficient administration.
