About CAJUN NAVY RELIEF INC

Cajun Navy Relief, Inc. is a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit formed from volunteer boat- and community-based responders that grew out of the 2016 Louisiana floods. The organization provides disaster search-and-rescue support, supplies distribution, debris clearing, and short-term emergency relief in the wake of hurricanes and floods. The EIN (81-3901071) and tax-exempt status were confirmed from the organization's public filings and its official website. In recent years the organization has expanded its fundraising and program activity, filing Form 990 returns that show multi-hundred-thousand to multi-million dollar annual revenues and substantial program spending on named disaster responses.
