Jared Allen's Homes For Wounded Warriors

What Jared Allen's Homes For Wounded Warriors does

Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors (JAH4WW) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit foundation founded in October 2009 by retired NFL defensive end Jared Allen after a USO tour to military bases in the Middle East. The organization builds and gifts mortgage-free, accessible, injury-specific custom homes to combat-wounded US military veterans who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan. Headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, JAH4WW operates nationally with field staff available across the country and runs a small core team (1-10 employees) led by an Executive Director and Director of Operations.

The foundation's sole core product is custom accessible home construction, with each home tailored to the recipient veteran's specific injuries. Supporting offerings include an official online merchandise store (selling hats at $25-$35 and t-shirts at $25-$28, with proceeds funding home construction), an online donation platform, and an "Honor Their Service" online fundraising campaign. The organization does not employ proprietary technology; the underlying infrastructure is a standard WordPress/Elementor website with typical donation processing and WooCommerce-style storefront functionality.

Revenue and supply are sourced through four principal streams: individual donations (minimum $5) processed online or by mail, direct online merchandise sales, recurring third-party fundraising events (golf tournaments, bull riding events, fishing tournaments, charity rides), and corporate cash sponsorships combined with large-scale in-kind donations of building materials from construction-product brands such as Home Depot Foundation (since 2012), Shaw Builder + Multifamily, Andersen Corporation, KB Home, Therma-Tru (since 2019), American Standard, Cambria, and others, with labor provided by building-trade unions including the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and its regional councils. The organization reports that more than 85% of all proceeds are directed toward home construction for recipients.
