About the Warrior Gateway Project

The Warrior Gateway Project was created to address multiple needs. The project responds to (1) public statements made by Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, calling for a national clearinghouse of resources for wounded veterans (source); and (2) a memorandum of understanding between the Department of Veteran Affairs and the Veterans Coalition to find a solution to the explosive growth in the NGO sector and to help drive improvement in that sector. The Warrior Gateway is that solution.

The Warrior Gateway’s fundamental strategy is to bring together the relevant information from around the web and our strategic partners to help our military community. This is accomplished through combining several components into an online portal.

The Warrior Gateway is being carried out through the efforts of a broad coalition of partners and sponsors. You can read more about the Warrior Gateway coalition below. Click on the following links to jump to that section:
