The Resource Center for Religious Institutes (RCRI) is an organization created to serve the needs of Catholic communities of religious women and men. Our professional staff offers advice and provides resources for the leadership of religious institutes
who become members of RCRI. For over 35 years, RCRI or its predecessor organizations have been a partner to help navigate the many complexities related to taxes and tax-exemption, corporate structure, internal organizational setup, finance, administration,
and canon law. We work with hundreds of religious institutes and societies of apostolic life from all over the United States and from several foreign countries. To learn more about us and our services, click the About Us link
