The not-for-profit NGO has been operated by volunteers in Tasmania since 1999 to educate, ensure animal welfare and serve the community.
However, the organisation sends independent rangers - trained by them - out into the field to relocate errant snakes.
A donation of $50 is requested from clients when a ranger goes to a job to meet the cost of fuel, but unfortunately the operative is required to undertake the relocation regardless of whether the client donates or not.
When a client does not donate, RRI reimburses the ranger, but out of the cost of its own funds.

RRI senior executive officer Ian Norton said approximately one third of all call outs go unfunded.
"To put this into perspective, last year we received 8321 calls for assistance, while at the time of writing this report we have received in excess of 6000 to date with our busiest time last year hitting 96 calls for assistance in one day," Mr Norton said in his request for financial assistance.
In order to address the issue, RRI is planning to request assistance in the form of a financial grant from 29 councils across the state and from the Tasmanian government.
This would mean, for any participating council, that the ratepayer would be serviced at no cost to the individual until the funding is depleted.
For councils that choose to decline to contribute, the ratepayers in that municipality would be asked to cover the cost.
"If we have full cooperation from all councils and government, RRI can role out a suite of service provision that takes the heat out of snake management across the whole state of Tasmania, and hopefully assist in warning locals and visitors on how to prevent incidents from happening," the request said.
West Tamar mayor and Local Government Association Tasmania president Christina Holmdahl said as the request had not yet been tabled, she could not comment on the issue.
However, Ms Holmdahl said most councils were supportive and generous, and would help a person or organisation if the request met the eligibility requirements of the grant being applied for.
"The matter is for each council to decide," she said.
A government spokeperson said the Tasmanian government would always look at ways to support Tasmanian businesses and organisations "during this difficult period and any application for financial support will be carefully considered".
The request is expected to be sent to councils and state government on Monday.
"We think it's time," Mr Norton said.
"We need finance. We've been doing it all these years."
