My company does a match on charitable donations ending today. Is there a good charity for vets that isnt bloated with admin costs like wounded warrior project?

How about donating to Astorino? Or SCOPE? Or NYRPA?

Only non-political charities are eligible. I ended up going with Disabled American Veterans on a friends recommendation.

The American Red Cross is a good one. They are the only organization that can get soldiers assistance for getting home in case of a family emergency from a combat zone. They also pay for everything to include flights and hotels food etc... Not exactly like the wounded warrior project but good to our Joes

Last I checked they had like a 9% operating cost.

I had heard this was another good one but they are listed as not eligible on the directory. I'm not sure why. Thanks for the suggestions I'll have a good list for next year now.
