RPAC Fundraising Handbook

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (NAR) Community & Political Affairs Division, and the National REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC), are pleased to present this RPAC Fundraising Handbook for REALTOR volunteers, state associations of REALTORS®, state RPACs, local boards of REALTORS®, and board RPAC committees.

Under the cooperative agreements in effect between National RPAC and the state RPACs, nearly all RPAC fundraising is conducted at the state and board levels. One of the most important functions of the National REALTORS® Political Action Committee is to provide state associations, state RPACs, and local board RPAC committees the best possible materials, information, and technical assistance.

The RPAC Fundraising Handbook is the most comprehensive, informative, and easy to use RPAC Fundraising guide ever produced by National RPAC and should be used as the basic text for all RPAC Fundraising efforts. We have divided the handbook up into distinct chapters so that you can access and reference the materials as needed. The appendices provide a rich suite of examples and best practices to review and choose from.
