Why Now?

  • U.S. servicemembers just received the $1,776 Warrior Dividend, a collective $2.6 billion investment in our community.
  • Global development assistance for health fell 21% from 2024 to 2025, leaving a $10.5 billion gap in support for the world’s most vulnerable populations [1].
  • With the nation’s 250th anniversary ahead, re-deploying even a portion of this bonus can turn gratitude into stability and impact.

Just $1,776 can provide one of the following:

  • Deworm 3,552+ children
  • Help prevent anemia for 3,552+ children
  • Provide 1,044+ people with safe water for a year

Warrior Dividend - Evidence Action

Why the Warrior Difference Project

We started this effort from a simple recognition: we’ve been given an opportunity to pay it forward with this unexpected gift.

  • We’re grateful for the Warrior Dividend and the recognition of service and sacrifice it represents.
  • For many of us, this bonus isn’t essential to meeting basic needs; steady pay and benefits provide stability.
  • That security gives us a chance to pay it forward with evidence-based impact.

Why Act Now

  • Global humanitarian needs are at historic levels while funding has been sharply reduced.
  • Redirecting a portion of the dividend is not about obligation or virtue—it’s about using resources well.

What We Hope to Do

  • As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, we want to turn what we’ve been given into something that meaningfully helps others.
  • Even small contributions, made collectively, can have outsized impact.

Why Evidence Action?

Evidence Action partners with governments to deliver proven health solutions at massive scale, improving health and economic outcomes for entire generations.

Deworm the World

2+ billion treatments since 2014.

Every dollar invested in this intervention generates $169 for these children's future incomes.

Safe Water

$15m+ in illness costs averted.

Households in Kenya, Malawi, and Uganda avoided out-of-pocket health expenditures.

Vitamin Supplementation

4.6-point IQ boost.

Weekly iron and folic acid supplements cut anemia risk for schoolchildren in India and Malawi.

Syphilis-Free Start

64,700 DALYs averted.

In Zambia, the program forecasts $20 per DALY over 10 years, around 60x more cost-effective than the World Health Organization's benchmark.

Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) are a common way to measure the burden of disease in a population by combining years of life lost to premature death and the years lived with a disability due to a disease. Evidence Action recently published a piece explaining the metric. Read the DALYs explainer.
