	IRCICA maintains strong relations to the Islamic world as it functions as a subsidiary organ of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), serving all 57 member states. It promotes research on the history of the Islamic world’s art, science, culture, and civilization through cooperation with member states’ governments, academic institutions, and cultural bodies (Wikipedia, 2022). Headquarters located in Istanbul symbolize its central role within the Muslim world’s intellectual and heritage studies network (ICHERISHEHER, 2025).

	IRCICA operates as a nonprofit research center and its principal financial support comes from OIC member states. Additional financial contributions have come from government allocations—such as major Turkish support for office space and restoration—and donations from other countries and individuals. For example, the Silahhane Building, which serves as the organization’s library, was restored with funds from the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and the Emir of Dubai (Wikipedia, 2022<ref>Wikipedia.

Retrieved from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_Centre_for_Islamic_History,_Art_and_Culture</ref>; Research Centre for Islamic History, Art and Culture, 2009). IRCICA’s work is also supported by its 57 member states, which are part of the OIC; their support is both financial and institutional (Wikiwand, 2009).
