About the Walter Reed Society
The Walter Reed Society was organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes in 1996 for the benefit of Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) and its educational, treatment and research activities.

Through the generous support of corporate and private donors, a special fund was established in 2004 to support servicemen and women being treated at WRAMC due to service in Iraq, Afghanistan and surrounding areas. The Operation Iraqi Freedom/ Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) Support Fund is used to assist service members and/or their families when support provided through Invitational Travel Orders (ITO), does not meet the immediate need during the patient’s treatment at WRAMC. Funding is approved for assistance on a case by case review of the applications and a personal meeting with a WRS representative and it is considered a grant.

Hundreds of wounded warriors and their family members have received assistance from this fund. Help with travel, lodging and subsistence expenses for family members of wounded warriors who are patients at Walter Reed Army Medical Center is a frequent need. To date the Walter Reed Society has provided more than $1-million in financial aid to soldiers and their families.
