Retirement Fund for Religious

Assistance Services

The National Religious Retirement Office (NRRO) maintains a network of consultants to assist religious institutes in planning for retirement. Individuals trained especially in fiscal planning, elder care, and community leadership volunteer their services and make recommendations to the NRRO for the amount of financial assistance.

How Donations are Distributed

Representatives from religious instiutes applying for Planning and Implementation Assistance work with volunteer consultants at an NRRO planning workshop.

The NRRO generates a Retirement Needs Analysis that calculates retirement need based on a religious institute's demographics, present cost of care, and assets available for retirement. The estimates of future retirement costs incorporate census projections based on the William M. Mercer Mortality Tables for members of religious communities.

The NRRO sponsors and co-sponsors workshops on topics such as emerging trends in elder care, government programs for seniors, resources for retirement planning, and building or renovating for retirement care.

Since 1988, the NRRO has become a significant source of data about the status of religious life in the United States.
