NMCRS is a charity dedicated to helping US Servicemen with a variety of needs. A description of their mission and work, from their website, is included below.

Mission

To provide, in partnership with the Navy and Marine Corps, financial, educational, and other need-based assistance to active-duty and retired Sailors and Marines, their eligible family members, and survivors.

The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) is a non-profit (501(C)3) charitable organization that provides emergency financial assistance to active duty and retired Navy and Marine Corps personnel and their family members. Assistance is provided in the form of interest-free loans or grants for basic living expenses such as rent, utilities, food, diapers and gas, emergency travel due to death or critical illness of an immediate family member, funeral expenses of family members, essential car repairs, car insurance and payments, evacuation expenses for those faced with an impeding natural disaster or recovering from a disaster, and dental and medical expenses not covered by Tricare. The Society also provides financial education and budget counseling, Budget for Baby workshops, and registered nurses who make house calls to mothers with newborns, homebound elderly retirees and combat-served veterans and their caregivers

Vision

As a non-profit, volunteer service organization, we use both financial and non-financial resources to identify solutions to meet emerging needs. We help clients improve personal financial skills and encourage individual financial responsibility.

Guiding Principles


  • We provide effective client service in a consistent, compassionate, and non-judgmental manner
  • We are committed to preserving the dignity, self-respect, and confidentiality of our clients
  • We are responsible stewards of the funds entrusted to us by our donors
  • We provide our volunteers and employees with the training and resources to be effective -- offering consistent services throughout the Society
  • We recognize the vital role our volunteer force plays in the delivery of Society programs and services.

Our prior success working together is demonstrated by a real-world example.

On 7 December 2016, the 75th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, in front of the Bremerton City Council, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society was privileged to accept a very generous donation from Bill Webb of Frog God Games. Working through Humble Bundle promotions, and in conjunction with Kobold Press and Green Ronin Publishing, the donation will go directly to support Sailors and Marines.

In one such case, a young Sailor, stationed on board one of the air craft carriers homeported here in Bremerton, was diagnosed with a brain tumor shortly after reporting for duty. The tumor was operable, but she was terrified and far away from home with no family nearby to be with her during or after the surgery. Her command contacted the Bremerton NMCRS office to request the Society’s help. Volunteer caseworkers at NMCRS Bremerton arranged and paid for the Sailor’s mother to fly to Seattle, Washington, found and paid for lodging and meals while her daughter was in the hospital, and then arranged and paid for both the Sailor and her mother to fly back to the family’s home to recover and regain her strength. The Society again stepped in to fly the service member back to Seattle when she was healthy and ready to return to duty aboard her ship.

This is just one example of how your donations to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society are used to assist service members and their families when in need. In 2016, the two NMCRS offices in Kitsap County assisted nearly 1,700 clients with more than $1.1 million dollars of interest-free loans and grants. Their visiting nurses have made 864 client contacts, their volunteers have taught 24 Budget for Baby workshops and given away 173 newborn baby care packs.

Thank you for your previous support! You are truly making a difference for Navy and Marine Corps service members and their families - in Kitsap County and around the globe.


The Dungeons, Monsters & Dragons 5E Bundle is on Humble Bundle now for the next two weeks.

I think that the Kobold Press stuff alone would be worth it and on the other hand I cant in good conscience back this bundle.

You can choose how much of your $$$ goes to the charity and how much goes to the company, in this case Frog God Games. I set the bar to give the charity the most money, in part for the reasons alluded to by Shasarak. I think you can even set it to 0 to the company, 100% to the charity.
