Founded in 1904, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is incorporated in theDistrict of Columbia with its corporate headquarters located in Arlington,Virginia. The Society is managed by a Board of Directors representing the active

duty and retired communities of the United States Navy and Marine Corps.

The mission of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is to provide, inpartnership with the Navy and Marine Corps, financial, educational,and other assistance to members of the Naval Service of the UnitedStates, eligible family members, and survivors when in need; and toreceive and manage funds to administer these programs.

The Society accomplishes this missionprincipally through the disbursement ofinterest-free loans and grants, but it also offersvisiting nurse services, budget counselingservices, thrift shops, and infant layettes. TheSociety also offers scholarships and interest-free loans for educational purposes through itseducation programs. Sponsored by theDepartment of the Navy, the Society operatesnearly 250 offices ashore and afloat at Navyand Marine Corps bases throughout the world.

More than 3,500 trained volunteers, bothashore and afloat, accomplish the majorportion of the Society’s work. They aresupported by a small cadre of employees. TheSociety enjoys an active partnershipwith the Navy and Marine Corps and benefitsextensively from the active involvement ofthe command structure at bases where theSociety maintains a presence. Thecommanders themselves, as well as the seniorenlisted leadership, chaplains, and Fleet andFamily Support Center personnel, play animportant role in the conduct of the Society’sbusiness.

Although sponsored by the Department of theNavy, the Society is a private, non-profitorganization whose programs are totallyfunded by charitable contributions. TheSociety is supported by two annual fund-raising activities: the Active Duty Fund Driveconducted by the Navy and Marine Corpsunder the auspices of the Secretary of theNavy; and the Secretary of the Navy’s directmail solicitation of retired members of theNavy and Marine Corps. Overhead expensesare paid from proceeds of the Reserve Fundcreated during World War II.

Donations to the Society are deductible underSection 170(b)(1)(a) of the IRS Code. TheSociety is exempt from Federal income taxunder Section 501(c)(3) of the code.

During 2011, the Society disbursed morethan $48 million in interest-free loans and

grants in response to 96,061 requests for financialassistance. For the second year in a row wehelped nearly one in every five active dutySailors and Marines. Our clients’ needs werevaried: 12,500 families came to us for food,shelter and other basic necessities, 86 widowsreceived monthly checks to help them live inhealth and dignity, we assisted 4,557 clients withemergency leave travel, and 1,800 familiesreceived help following the earthquake andtsunami in Japan, forest fires in the southwest,hurricanes Irene and Lee that tracked up the eastcoast, and the tornado that struck near CampLejeune.

Our Combat Casualty Assistance VisitingNurses provided long-term resource coordinationto more than 1,500 families in 2011, renderinghealth education and emotional support in20,200 contacts with combat wounded Marines

and Sailors and their families. The Society alsoprovided financial aid to 456 wounded warriors.

Retirees on a fixed income also suffer duringan economic downturn — and the Societyhelped 3,327 retired clients this year, providing$5.5 million in financial assistance.

Acting as good stewards of the funds entrustedto the Society’s care, we continued to focus oncost containment and reducing administrativeexpenses this year. I am pleased to report thatour efforts were effective and only $2.2 million ofthe Society’s investment reserves were needed tocover the cost of operations in 2011, comparedwith $5.5 million in 2010.

This past year was our best fund raising year inhistory — $19.2 million compared to $16.6million in the previous year. This results fromour “family” of active duty and retired Sailors andMarines who gave generously, greater supportfrom corporate partners, organizations andindividuals, and increased distributions fromestates and other donations.

As we have since our founding in 1904, theSociety continues to depend on its corps ofenthusiastic, dedicated and selfless volunteers.Our 27 Thrift Shops, run entirely by volunteers,helped more than 110,000 clients with low-costclothing, uniforms and household items. Ourvolunteers are exceptional people who work hard

in the service of others. I am grateful for theircommitment and I am proud to serve with themas a member of Team NMCRS!

This year our Relief Committee has not missed a beat. We sadly bidfarewell to Liz Nosal in September and welcomed Noni Bird, who

brought both sunshine and an inquisitive mind to our daily efforts to supportour widows. We were pleased to have representatives brief us regarding ArmedForces Services Corporation, Navy Mutual Aid, the Financial IndustryRegulatory Authority (FINRA), TRICARE and MOAA (Military OfficersAssociation of America). Our monthly Relief Committee meetings were richand constructive with valuable information that will help in our efforts tosupport our dear widows. Hearing from this grateful group of special ladies is acontinuing source of inspiration for all of us.

“Thank you all for all the kind deeds you have done. Without your help I don’tknow how I could have made it. It is still bad, but I am able to pull through. I gotmyself into this mess, a lot of it is the house, too. The house was built in the 1950sand when my husband passed I helped kids and never thought that things would getthis bad. I took care of a grandson who was in bad shape. He is no longer with meor a threat to me. It is hard but God will see me through to the end. I will be 91 inApril. Again, thank you people. I will never be able to thank Mr. Bill Kampa.(Deputy Director, NMCRS Camp Lejeune). He is a wonderful, caring person.God bless you!”

In the 1920s, command leadership in the Navy and Marine Corps reported thatservice members sometimes failed to report for duty, saying that they had to care for

a sick spouse. At that time, the Navy provided medical care only to Active Dutypersonnel. In those days, 42% percent of all Society’s loans and grants were beingissued to cover the civilian medical expenses of Navy and Marine Corps familymembers. It would be the early 1940s before the Navy officially provided medical careto family members in its facilities. Meanwhile, the Society was asked to come up witha suggestion for helping families with their health concerns so that service memberscould concentrate on their jobs. The suggestion was to start a Visiting Nurse Program.In 1922, the Society hired Nell Watson as our first Visiting Nurse. She was employedat Parris Island, SC. Since she had no vehicle of her own, the base hospital staffallowed Miss Watson to drive their ambulance when making her home visits.

90 Years of Compassionate Care The Society’s Visiting Nurses have now beenproviding health education and resource information to Navy and Marine Corpsfamilies for 90 years. They focus on addressing needs not currently being met in thelocal area. In some locations, the focus is on new parents and infants; in otherlocations, the focus is on helping retirees and widows learn how best to cope withchronic medical conditions and end-of-life issues. They are available to visit eligibleclients of any age, with any medical condition or concern. The Visiting Nurses providefeedback to the referring physicians, closing the loop and maintaining a consistent,clear picture of the health needs of each eligible family member.

In 2006, the Society identified an unmet need among Navy and Marine Corpsfamilies. With an average of 45 new patients arriving every week at Bethesda andWalter Reed from the war zone, the military hospital staff was kept busy providing careto the wounded. They tried to keep families informed about what was happening, butthe family members were often too stressed to absorb what they were being told abouttheir loved one’s condition, and often did not understand the military or medical

jargon they were hearing. Frequent repetition of information was required to help thefamily members understand and start to deal with the situation they were facing. Butwith continually increasing patient loads, time was at a premium for hospital staff andthe needs of all parties could not be met without additional resources.

Combat Casualty Assistance To help deal with the problems faced by these families,the Society expanded its traditional Visiting Nurse Program to include nurses whowork specifically with Marines and Sailors returning from combat service and theirfamilies. We refer to them as Combat Casualty Assistance or “CCA” Visiting Nurses.The CCA nurses focus on providing health education and emotional support to thesefamilies. The Program provides families with a health professional who can take thetime to listen to their questions about their injured service member’s situation, as wellas questions about other family members’ health issues that may affect the servicemember’s recovery, and to help them get the best possible outcomes. Wheneverpossible, the CCA nurses meet the families in the hospital so that they get to knoweach other before the Marine or Sailor is discharged. When the family has already metthe CCA nurse, they often feel more comfortable allowing the CCA nurse to make ahome visit.

Currently, the Society’s CCA Nurses are the only registered nurses who make face-to-face visits, anywhere in the country, free of charge, to Marines, Sailors and theirfamilies who have been affected by combat service. Our CCA nurses stay involvedwith the families even if the Marine or Sailor is no longer in the military, continuingto work with the family for as long as there is a need and as long as the family iswilling to allow these nurses into their lives and homes.

The importance of seeing the family in their daily environment cannot beoverstated. Face-to-face meetings allow the CCA nurse to observe as well as hearwhat is being said. The body language of the speaker - the expression on a familymember’s face when a Marine or Sailor says he is doing fine – exhaustion – pain – fear– frustration – hopelessness – all these and a hundred other emotions can be seenwhen you are face-to-face. But not when you are on a phone call.

Profile of Courage: Albert A discharged Marine – “Albert” – had been called by hiscase manager. Afterwards, she was concerned about something she heard in his voiceeven though he denied any problems. The case manager called the Visiting NurseProgram and asked if a nurse could make a visit to “Albert,” warning us that he livedin a remote area and had no family support. A Marine from the WWR and one of ourCCA Nurses arranged to meet with “Albert” at Petey’s Bait Shop. Over the course oftwo days of visits, the Marine helped “Albert” identify what benefits he was entitled toand the nurse and “Albert” came up with a plan for getting him some help with his

nightmares, flashbacks, anger problems, and other symptoms of PTS. The day after thenurse and the Marine returned home, the case manager got a call from “Albert.” Hetold her that he had planned to kill himself because he didn’t think it would matter toanyone if he did. Then he added, “But if a Marine and a nurse cared enough to comeout to “God-forsaken North Dakota” just to see me, I will keep trying.”

No one comes home from a war zone the same person they were when they left.Even when life is going well for the Marine or Sailor and their family, Society nursesstay connected so that when problems arise, they know us well enough to let us visit.Sometimes life goes well for several years – often beyond the point at which otheragencies stop following the family. Even with the best efforts of every agency –military or civilian – ultimately, the family is the long-term support system foreveryone who returns from combat. We let the service member define his or her“family.” In some cases, “family” is the traditional group - parents, siblings, spouse,children, etc. In other cases, “family” is friends, neighbors, girlfriends, or battlebuddies. We help them learn what they need to know so that they can provide thesupport and encouragement to the service member and each other in the years ahead.

These families – whatever their composition – carry a heavy burden when theirMarine or Sailor is seriously injured. No matter what the nature of the injury, life haschanged. The CCA nurses often find that as time goes on, the family needs emotionalsupport more than anything else. Having someone who can sit with them, in theirhome, laugh with them over the day-to-day things, and cry with them over the dreams

that may have been lost – this kind of support requires time and patience, and theskills to hear what isn’t being said as well as what is being said. Our Visiting NurseProgram is designed to allow families to take the time they need to talk - or to besilent - as they come to terms with their new lives.

Profile of Courage: Jeff A Marine we will call “Jeff” was injured in Iraq. When hiswife and his mother arrived at the hospital in Germany, Jeff’s wife took one look athim and walked out. He never saw her again. The doctor told “Jeff’s” mother that“Jeff” wouldn’t live. She requested her son be seen by a new doctor. It is now fiveyears later. His wife divorced him. His father left the family three years ago. “Jeff’s”mother devotes her time caring for her son. On Christmas Eve two years ago, “Jeff’s”mother called her CCA nurse to say that “Jeff” had just taken his first steps since hisinjury.

His mother said, “I wanted to tell someone and you were the only one I knew whowould appreciate what he has accomplished.” During a recent visit, “Jeff’s” CCAnurse asked him what made him so determined to recover. “Jeff” told her that hecredits his improvement to that original doctor in Germany. When the nurse askedwhy he felt that way, “Jeff” said he actually remembers hearing the doctor say that“Jeff” wouldn’t live. “Jeff” then added with a twinkle in his eye, “NEVER tell a Marinehe can’t do something!”

“Jeff’s” attitude is common among these service members and their families. Theydon’t want our sympathy, but they do deserve our respect and admiration. This maynot have been what they expected in life, but they meet their challenges with acourage and strength that is nothing short of amazing.

Profile of Courage: Mark One Marine, I’ll call him “Mark,” lost one arm at theshoulder, part of his other hand and was burned over 60% of his body. When “Mark’s”CCA nurse was visiting, he told her, “People see me and say, ‘Oh, that poor youngman!’ but they are wrong! I am lucky! I was the only one of my buddies whosurvived. So I thank God every day that I can wake up and see my family. I will havea good life –for me, and for my buddies who can’t.” During his recovery, “Mark” metand married a lovely young woman who sees beyond the scars to the person he is. Heand his wife had their first child in May, and they have named him after two of“Mark’s” buddies that didn’t come home. “Mark” and his wife have said that life isvery good.

Recognizing Platinum Effort: The Society’s Visiting Nurses make a difference inmore lives than anyone ever realizes. They say that it is an honor and a privilege towork with military families. We say that working alongside these compassionate,

nurturing and caring professional is awe inspiring. Their commitment, caring spiritand quiet understanding have provided comfort to countless Navy and Marine Corpsfamilies at the most difficult times in their lives.

The total return on the Society’s Investment Portfolio for 2011 was +0.81% andthe market value of the Society’s investments at the end of the year was $90.1

million. This figure does not include $4.3 million held in the Society’s cash accountresulting from the sale of some of the Society’s investments. Because of the accountingrequirement to show the $4.3 million in the cash account, the performance of theinvestment portfolio is understated. Total return actually was +1.75%

During the year, $2.2 million of the Society’s Reserve Fund was used to meetadministrative and fund raising expenses. A strategic redeployment of a portion of theSociety’s investments was implemented in December, resulting in a $4.3 millionaugmentation to the Society’s cash account on the last day of the year. These fundswere reinvested at the beginning of January 2012.

The accompanying charts display the value of the Reserve Fund at year end for theperiod 2002-2011, and the amount of the Reserve Fund used to cover the Society’soperating costs over the same 10-year period.

The Society’s Employees’ Pension Plan remains well funded with plan assets valuedat more than $29 million at the end of the year. In the past, a discount rate of 5.5%was used by the Society’s pension actuary to calculate future pension benefitobligations, but, due to recent pension legislation, the discount rate used in 2011 waschanged to 5.0%. This resulted in the “Pension Related Credit” loss of $9 millionreflected in the Summary of Operations section on page 18. The Society plans toamortize this amount in accordance with current pension regulations and continue tofully meet its future pension obligations.

Sources of Funds

The Society had inflows of $69.5 million in 2011. $42.1 million camefrom the repayment by the Society’s clients of interest-free loans.Interest, dividends, and cash withdrawals from the Society’s InvestmentPortfolio provided $6.3 million. Contributions accounted for $19.2million*, principally from the Active Duty and Retired Fund Drives,but also from bequests, memorials, and general contributions.Miscellaneous receipts, principally from Thrift Shop operations, addedan additional $.95 million.

Uses of Funds

The Society used its inflows to conduct operations as shown on theaccompanying chart. The largest use was for Program Services. Thesingle largest program the Society has is making new, interest-free loans($42.2 million in 2011). Loan repayment receipts and new loans areessentially a “wash,” and, with the exception of loans that are laterconverted to grants or declared as uncollectible, these funds act as a“revolving” fund. Grants and Non-Financial Assistance are fundedprincipally by Contributions, and, to a lesser extent, by MiscellaneousReceipts (including Thrift Shop profits) and withdrawals from theSociety’s Investments. Administrative and Fundraising Expenses, aswell as revenue disbursed in support of the Society’s educationprograms, were covered by funds provided from the InvestmentPortfolio.

* Excludes donated HQ facility lease, costs, donated items and change in pledges receivable amounting to $.95 million

** Includes no-interest loans

The accompanying charts provide a picture of financial assistance by theSociety to its clients over the 10-year period from 2002 through 2011,

and the amount of contributions received by the Society over that sameperiod.

The Society provided an average of $40.4 million annually in financialassistance to clients in the form of interest-free loans and grants, whilecharitable contributions to the Society averaged $16.7 million per year.

Total financial assistance increased in 2006-2010 due to a variety ofreasons including combat casualty assistance, help provided to Navy andMarine Corps families who were victims of natural disasters, the Society’sQuick Assist Loan Program, and the impact of the 2007-2009 recession.The number of clients receiving support and the amount of financialassistance provided by the Society declined slightly in 2011.

Contributions have been fairly consistent over the decade with about65% of all contributions coming from active duty and retired Sailors andMarines with 2006 and 2011 augmented by large bequests.

“When I was on active duty, I admiredand donated to the Navy-Marine CorpsRelief Society because many of mytroops needed help - and the Societywas always there to provide it. Weweren't at war then. I'm sure the needis even greater now so I'm happy tohelp in any way I can.”

Col Sara J. Pritchett, USMC (Ret)

A s America entered WWII in December 1941, for the first time since 1904, the Navy-Marine CorpsRelief Society found itself in the position of not having sufficient resources to meet the increased

demands of Sailors, Marines and Coast Guardsmen. Clarence Dillon, a successful New York financier, wasasked by VADM Adolphus Andrews, US Navy, Commander of the Eastern Sea Frontier, to raise $5million to meet the increased need. In less than two years, Clarence Dillon’s public campaign raised over$10 million.

Clarence Dillon ensured the Society met the current needs of members of the Navy and Marine Corpsserving during WWII, and his legacy was to financially position the Society to meet the future needs ofSailors, Marines and their families.

The Clarence Dillon Society recognizes those who have provided, or intend to provide, resources fromtheir estate to ensure the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society is positioned to meet future demands forfinancial assistance. Enrollment in this honorary organization is simply a matter of advising the Society ofthe creation of a legacy gift such as a bequest intention, a charitable trust, designating the Society as abeneficiary of a retirement plan or life insurance policy or establishing a charitable gift annuity with theSociety. These gifts are vitally important to the Society’s long-term viability. For more information, pleasecontact us at [email protected] or go to our website at nmcrs.org/legacy.

Dear Jessica and Navy Relief,

The year was 1956, a week before Christmas, I was nineteen years old, married ten months to my high school sweetheart who was a PFC,USMC, stationed at Henderson Hall and we had just been blessed with the birth of our first son, Robert, at Bethesda Naval Hospital, Bethesda,MD. We were terribly poor, but in love and happy. On the second or third day of a four-day stay, in walked a lady with a very large, gailywrapped box….in the box was a very large baby layette consisting of a large, beautiful crib blanket, two receiving blankets, diapers, littlenightgowns, undershirts, even belly-bands to cover the baby’s un-healed belly button! And topping off this complete newborn wardrobe, was awonderfully hand-crocheted matching set of hat, booties, and sweater, all blue!!! And yes, it was a gift from the Navy Relief Society!!!

This meant so much to us, my heart cries with grateful tears in remembrance….what a great present…I’ll never forget it…the sweater set didbecome a family heirloom.

Thank you so much, Dear Navy Relief Society!!! You have done so much for me and my family over the years. Yes, I volunteered at theThrift Shop for a few years, and yes, we gave through payroll deductions when it became available, and in subsequent years…but I know it willnever be enough, whatever we manage to give back to you…..just simply because you are so there for the military and their families!

And now you’ve done it again!!! My heart is weeping again in gratefulness for the tremendous help you gave me when I made an appointmentwith your Jessica to get some help in money management…not only did she straighten out my budget and give me some names of people forfurther help, she gave me a check for the remainder of my husband’s funeral bill!!! I just couldn’t believe it! This bill has worried me to pieces,and you just gave me a check to pay it in full!!! Thank you, Thank you! Your help has been a true blessing to me, you have so helped me!!

Everyone I met or talked to at your office was so kind and caring, thank you for having people like that, it meant a lot to me. I cheer you all onin the work that you do, you truly help people, you have truly helped me in ways I’ll always be indebted to you for.

Sincerely and Gratefully,Cecelia M. Autorino

The Jessica in this letter is Jessica Miller,a Level III Caseworker at NMCRS Camp Lejeune.
