CRS Rice Bowl Revenue Reporting Form

For Diocesan Office Use Only

NEW DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION: JULY 31.

Revenue Reporting Process

The CRS Rice Bowl Revenue Reporting Form records the total amount your diocese raised through CRS Rice Bowl and how those funds will be allocated. This information is required for audit purposes.

Your diocese may submit 75% of the funds to Catholic Relief Services and retain 25% for local hunger- and poverty-alleviation efforts. Please note: Any diocesan administrative fee must be taken from the 25% retained for local use. Alternatively, your diocese may choose to submit 100% of funds collected to CRS.

Donations Sent Directly to CRS

Beginning in 2026, as part of our annual revenue process, CRS will remit to your diocese, via electronic bank payment, 25% of CRS Rice Bowl donations that parishes, schools and individuals in your community send directly to CRS. If your diocese elects to submit 100% of its local collection to CRS, CRS will not remit 25% of donations sent directly to CRS.

This remittance process is contingent on your diocese submitting the electronic bank payment form, this revenue reporting form and 75% of the total funds collected by your diocese.

If the forms and the collection are not submitted by July 31, 2026, CRS cannot issue a remittance check to dioceses that elected the 75%/25% split.
