Naval Intelligence Professionals (NIP) is a non-profit professional association incorporated to enhance awareness of the mission and vital functions of the United States naval intelligence community, as well as to foster camaraderie among naval intelligence professionals, founded in 1985.
It is an association of active duty, retired and reserve officers, enlisted personnel, and civilians who serve or have served within the Naval Intelligence community, as well as those in certain other categories who qualify as a nonvoting Subscriber.
The goal of the Naval Intelligence Professionals is to further the knowledge of the art of maritime intelligence, and to provide a vehicle whereby present and former Naval Intelligence Professionals may be kept informed of developments in the Naval Intelligence community and of the activities and whereabouts of past shipmates.
[edit]
In 1989, they founded the Naval Intelligence Foundation (NIF), a tax exempt, charitable and educational organization created for the sole purpose of soliciting, receiving, and administering funds and property in order to advance knowledge in the art of Naval and Maritime Intelligence, and to recognize and reward academic excellence and professional achievement in the field of Intelligence. NIF does not have a membership per se, but draws its support from the NIP membership and from other individual and corporate sponsors and supporters of Naval Intelligence. NIF sponsors and presents awards and scholarships as noted in "Naval Intelligence Foundation Programs" below.
