Merriman Capital Hosts Wounded Warrior Project Event in Dallas Texas

SAN FRANCISCO - August 25, 2015- Merriman Capital, Inc. ("Merriman"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Merriman Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: MERR), announced today they will be hosting an event in support of Wounded Warrior Project^® (WWP) and their long-term care initiatives. The event will be held in Dallas, Texas at W Dallas-Victory on Tuesday, September 15, 2015, and is hosted by Merriman Capital.

Merriman Capital's Digital Capital Network is working with WWP in support of the nonprofit's goal to raise $500 million to fund the Long-Term Support Trust -- a first-of-its-kind program focused on the most seriously injured veterans, with moderate-to-severe brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or other neurological conditions.. The Trust provides resources and supplemental services including life-skills training, home care, transportation, and ensures additional resources remain available to the seriously wounded, ill, or injured in the event their caregivers are no longer able to provide care and support.  

"As a firm, we are deeply honored to help this world class, nonprofit organization raise capital in an innovative way," said Jon Merriman, CEO, Merriman Capital, Inc. "Nearly 100% of the funds donated go into a trust, which will be administered through advisory panels in consultation with individual warriors or their representatives when it is needed. Our government has let these soldiers down after they have done so much for our country, and the WWP Independence Program is a tangible, vitally needed way for us to fill the gap and help those that deserve so much of our thanks."
 
"Starting with WWP, Merriman Capital is enabling communication between institutionally oriented donors and large national non-profits. American philanthropy among the family offices is driven mostly by personal relationships and local community needs. We hope to scale our portfolio of non-profits listed on the DCN to allow our community to view multiple alternatives to their philanthropic giving," says Will Febbo, CEO of DCN. "We will assess the non-profits in terms of geographic footprint and impact in their area of focus, and WWP is incredibly impactful on a national basis and focused on our nation's injured veterans, their caregivers and families.  After two successful events in San Francisco and New York, Merriman and WWP will continue on events in different locations to expand broad visibility, knowledge and understanding of the Trust."
