This office coordinates the annual national appeal for the Retirement Fund for Religious and distributes grants for retirement needs to eligible religious institutes. NRRO strives to support, educate and assist religious institutes in the United States to plan for their elderly and frail members now and in the future. NRRO aims to:
- raise funds for retired religious;
- help religious institutes realistically assess their current retirement needs and implement planning;
- educate religious institutes to allocate assets realistically;
- develop educational tools, programs, services and resource materials that enable religious institutes to address retirement wisely.
A Mercer Human Resources Consulting report commissioned by NRRO projected that by 2023 religious orders may face more than $20 billion in unfunded retirement liabilities.
The National Religious Retirement Office and the Retirement Fund for Religious are sponsored by the Conference of Major Superiors of Men, Council of Major Superiors of Women Religious, Leadership Conference of Women Religious, and United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
