You are sadly mistaken if you believe the bulk of your donations go towards supporting the cause you have chosen. Almost all charities are self sustaining, using money raised to raise more money. With some of the more unscrupulous charities administrative costs run as high as 80-90%.

The Wounded Warrior Project is a fine charity but as stated above they have the right to accept corporate donations from the companies they choose. Perhaps they have an agreement with other donors that precludes the tobacco donations. There are many other worthy charities working with injured soldiers, maybe one of those would be more willing to work with the OP.
