The Roofing Alliance announces its annual Call for Funding for initiatives that will contribute to the advancement and growth of the roofing industry.  The deadline for funding applications is January 1, 2023.
 
Each year, the Roofing Alliance provides funding for research, educational initiatives and technical programs that address current issues and work to secure the future of the roofing industry.
