For over 100 years, the Society has provided financial assistance, education, and other services to active duty and retired members of the United States Navy and Marine Corps, their eligible family members and survivors – when in need. Your support makes this possible.
Financial Assistance: For everyday bills to unexpected expenses, our caseworkers are ready to provide financial assistance and counseling to Sailors, Marines and their families. Each year, the Society works with tens of thousands of clients providing interest-free loans and grants for a variety of needs, ranging from emergency transportation to disaster relief to unforeseen family emergencies.
Financial Education: We provide budget counseling and financial management education to help Marines and Sailors and their spouses understand how to budget appropriately and set a course for financial stability. These activities include our Budget for Baby® workshops for expectant parents.
Visiting Nurses: Registered Nurses employed in our Visiting Nurse Program assist thousands of patients each year with education, wellness, and referral information.
Education Assistance: Grants and interest-free loans are provided for undergraduate and graduate studies to eligible active duty and retired spouses and children so that they may attend accredited 2- or 4-year post-secondary, technical or vocational institutions in the United States.
Thrift Shops: Society Thrift Shops enable Navy and Marine Corps families to purchase gently used uniforms, clothing and household items at low cost. All items sold in our Thrift Shops are donated and proceeds support our programs and services.
