Hello,
I dont know of the existance of such a organisation thats task was to look only after the welfare of the u-boat families. But the families became some help, For example I spoke with the the daughter of a high rankin u-boat ace. She told me, that her family received a lot of letters from Adolf Hitler, were he gave some donations for the family. 5000 Reichsmark etc for example. So I think this happened only to the well known commanders and was a good will gesture from Hitler for his aces, but not a product of a special organisation.
Regards Philipp
