Impact

Since 2007, WQW has served more than 1,500 Warriors and their loved ones from
across the country. Your donation will ensure 100% of progressive programs remain
cost-free for participants, encouraging Warriors and their loved ones to grow beyond the
traumas of war, to realize their potential, and to chart a path toward a thriving, resilient
life.

WQW partners with Syracuse University’s D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military
Families as a third-party evaluator of programmatic impact. Because of this, we know that
by participating in Built for More, Warriors:

• Are more optimistic about their future, feel good most of the time, and believe their life
has a clear sense of purpose.
• Feel less nervous and stressed and are less likely to be angered by things outside

their control.
• Feel like there is direction in their life.

• Find that being in nature is important to them.
