NARR/REF A IS SECNAVINST 5340.7A, FUNDRAISING AND SOLICITATION IN SUPPORT OF 
NAVY-MARINE CORPS RELIEF SOCIETY// 
 
RMKS/ 1.  For 119 years, the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) has 
provided confidential, needs-based financial assistance to active duty and 
retired Sailors, Marines, and their families.  The Society's programs and 
services also include tuition scholarships, budget counseling, thrift shops, 
and visiting nurses to help address the unique challenges of military life 
and service.  The Society operates around the globe, in more than 200 offices 
located on land and sea, staffed by thousands of volunteers and a small cadre 
of paid employees.  In 2022, the Society provided over $42 million in 
interest-free loans and grants to approximately 40,000 Sea Services members 
and their families. 
 
2.  On 1 March 2023, the NMCRS will kick off its annual Active Duty Fund 
Drive (ADFD) benefitting NMCRS.  The goal for the 2023 ADFD is to raise $8 
million.  While the opportunity to support NMCRS with a financial 
contribution is an option, the most important objective is to ensure every 
Sailor and Marine is made aware of the diverse programs and services 
available to them from NMCRS by ensuring 100 percent meaningful contact. 
 
3.  The annual ADFD campaign is an opportunity to raise awareness about the 
NMCRS and the services it provides including financial and educational 
support for Navy and Marine Corps Service Members and their families.   
Therefore, this is an all hands effort and leaders at every level should be 
engaged to ensure a successful ADFD. 
 
4.  Consistent with rules for the use of appropriated funds, commanders may 
authorize the use of appropriated funds for traditional kickoff events, 
recognition ceremonies and other non-solicitation events to support the ADFD. 
 
5.  Released by the Honorable Carlos Del Toro, Secretary of the Navy.//
