In 2017, the CRCA leadership gathered to form the CRCA Foundation as a way to provide funding and support through philanthropy, research, and education.

The goal is for all of those across the roofing and waterproofing industry to uinite in assisting the CRCA Foundation to benefit the industry and the community. 

As the CRCA Foundation moves forward, stakeholders' support is needed to help secure the future, strength and excellence of the roofing industry and the community surrounding it. 

CRCA’s mission is to unite those engaged in the roofing and waterproofing industry in Illinois and beyond by providing educational programs, informational resources and networking opportunities, as well as advocating on behalf of its members to enhance roofing industry standards.
