NATIONAL TRUST FOR OUR WOUNDED, INC.
GREAT FALLS, VA

VP, Marketing and Business Development, OSI Consulting Inc. and President, The Weintraub Family Foundation NTW was founded just to help solve this problem as well as to find a way to speed up aid to our Wounded. As a national fund, and not a service provider, NTW is able to be a unifying vehicle to manage the disbursement of funds to local, regional and national non-profit service providers of Veterans’ assistance programs. In this way, NTW provides a buffer of protection to the public and Veterans by ensuring that funds are distributed to legitimate, responsible and well-managed organizations who are helping to speed up aid to our Wounded and their families. In order for ensure transparency of NTW and its programs, NTW will itself be monitored on a regular basis by another outside nationally recognized accounting firm. We are working to give Corporations, Foundations and donors the transparency and information lacking today. NTW doesn’t want to duplicate efforts of other already existing Veteran charities – we want to help the American public find the best so the money they donate is given to those with the best results or charities that are doing new cutting edge work that will have a dramatic impact on lowering today’s Veteran suicide rate. NTW is already vetting individuals and groups working on the new innovative approaches to help those suffering from PTS and TBI and then looking to see if there are already existing 501s that they could partner with to expand their programming to include these new successful techniques and medical advancements. Working with well-respected CPA firms on quarterly reviews of 501(c)3s to ensure authentication of proper fund usage, distribution, transparency and accountability; Conducting regular onsite visits and quarterly reviews of programs NTW is supporting on behalf of the sponsors, artists and donors who are helping NTW in our work; Q: What statistics are the best to provide that show how our Wounded are under-serviced and under-provided for? The 501’s management team must be capable of expanding their programs geographically and a proven track record of successful outcomes helping Veterans and their families; Training, job placement and work programs which help Veterans reintegrate back in the workplace. Each organization that NTW funds will be required to submit quarterly financials that will be reviewed by NTW’s internal accounting team and the independent nationally-respected auditing firm NTW is working with. NTW’s financial reviews have been established for the purpose of being supportive and consulting-based rather than for punitive reasons. Q: Why isn’t our Government doing this for our Wounded, why the need for Wounded groups like you? No doubt about it – this is a HUGE job. Our Congress and other 501(c)3 non-profits are doing their best to help meet the needs of our Wounded but after hundreds of hours in conversations with the Wounded, spending over 5 years researching what our Wounded have told us is missing in programs for them — and the complexity of trying to figure who is doing what — we’ve discovered there is still a great number of needs that simply aren’t being addressed. The recent Veteran Administration problems confirms our findings. NTW wants to help close that void. NTW acts as a Trust Fund which is carefully managed by a dedicated team of business leaders, military leaders, specialists, non-profit specialists, accountants and others who will be overseeing and deciding which groups are worthy of your investment. And, best of all, you will be able to have confidence that your money has been used wisely because there are checks and balances in place all the way through – including ones on NTW — to ensure we are the fulfilling our obligations as well.
