Last night, we broke the story of lavish spending by one of the most Prominent Charities for wounded veterans. Financial records show that compared to similar charities, the Wounded Warrior project spend a far smaller share of what it takes in on the vets them selves. Tonight we have more of our investigation by chip reid and producer jennifer janisch. Reporter the nations most prominent Veterans Charity is facing criticism from more than 40 former employees how it spend the more than 800 million it raised in the past sick years. We asked mark owens, a former director of taxexempt organizations at the irs to review the Wounded Warrior projects tax documents. What was your biggest concern in reading these forms . That i couldnt tell the number of people that were assisted. I thought that was truly unusual. If the organization is asking for money and spending money purportedly spending money to assist veterans, i would look to know. Wounded warrior project says 80 of their money is spent on programs for veterans. Thats because they include professional items, direct response advertising, and shipping and postage costs. Take that out, and the figures look more like what Charity Watch dogs say only 54 to 60 of donations go to help wound Service Members. The ceo said fundraising should and can be included in the programs and services. Your response . I would be curious to know how asking people for money equates to the assistance of wounded veterans. Steven nardizzi has been ceo since 2009. In 2014 he was paid nearly 500,000 in line with similar sized charities. Many former employees told us they thought it was too much. Nardizzi defended his salary to or norfolk affiliate. My salary is less than 1 10 of 1 of the donations that come in. I am running an organization that is helping hundreds of thousands of warriors. Last year, wwp gave 150,000 grant to a group that defends higher spending on overhead executive salaries and fundraising. Nardizzi says the more money the charity raises the more it can spend on veterans. If your only fixation is spending the most on programs, thats feeling good, not necessarily doing good. You can run program activities. But daniel says his biggest concern is the group is sitting on 24 million surplus and not enough is being spent on veterans. Is would be helpful if hundred of millions of dollars were being spent to help veterans in the shorter term, year or two, rather than being held for longer term. Wounded warrior project told us it is committed 100 million to a new Mental Health Care Initiative and hope to raise another 500 million for Long Term Care for severely wounded veterans. Scott, it could be years before most of the money makes an impact on the lives of Wounded Service members. Chip reid with our cbs news investigation. Chip, thank you very much.
