At a Glance
Founded in 1904, the NAVY-MARINE
CORPS RELIEF SOCIETY is a private, non-profit, charitable organization.
We exist solely to support the active
and retired communities of the Naval Service.
Located at approximately 250 offices ashore and afloat throughout the
world, the Society’s work is accomplished mainly by its 3,400 dedicated,
trained, and caring Volunteers who are supported by a small cadre of paid
employees.
The Society’s mission is to provide – in partnership with the Navy and Marine Corps – financial, educational, and other assistance to members of the Naval Service of the United States, their eligible family members and survivors, when in need; and to manage funds to administer these programs.
