In 1996, The Roofing Alliance was established within the National Roofing Foundation (NRF) to create a permanent endowment fund to serve as a highly focused resource for the roofing industry and its customers.

The Roofing Alliance’s objectives are to conduct research and educational projects that support high-quality programs for roofing contractors, ensure timely and forward-thinking industry responses to major economic and technological issues and enhance the long-term viability and attractiveness of the industry to roofing workers.
