The Congress of Russian Americans (CRA) is a national non-profit organization that has been dedicated to preserving Russian culture, language, and spiritual heritage since its establishment in 1973. As the recognized voice of Russian Americans in the US, CRA aims to combat Russophobia and promote understanding between cultures. Through their humanitarian programs, CRA provides assistance to handicapped, orphaned, and underprivileged children and youth, as well as support to families in crisis.

CRA's commitment to preserving Russian heritage is evident through their various initiatives, including organizing events such as the Russian poetry reading festival and the Merry Christmas Slavic Holiday Festival at the Russian Center. Additionally, CRA actively engages with the community through interviews with local Russian newspapers and presentations, such as the Veterans Day presentation and the presentation of CRA scholarships. With a focus on promoting unity and cultural exchange, CRA continues to play a vital role in the Russian American community.
