RPAC State Awards

Each year, National RPAC presents state associations with awards based on their year-end fundraising performance.  States are divided into the following five categories (based on membership) whereby states compete against other states in their category:

  1. Largest States: over 50,000 members
  2. Larger States: 30,000 - 50,000 members
  3. Large States: 20,000 - 30,000 members
  4. Medium States: 10,000 - 20,000 members
  5. Small States: 5,000 - 10,000 members
  6. Smaller States: 2,000 - 5,000 members
  7. Smallest States: less than 2,000 members

The following award categories are:

  1. First to Reach Goal:  This recognizes the first state to achieve their “Fair Share” Goal.
  2. Most Dollars Collected:  This award recognizes the state that collects the most funds.
  3. Highest Percentage of Participation:  This award recognizes the state with the highest percentage of its membership contributing to RPAC.
  4. Over goal:  This award is for all states that exceed their RPAC “Fair Share” Goal.
  5. 1% Major Investors: This award recognizes any state that recruits 1% of their membership as Major Investors.  The membership number will be the same number used to determine the state’s Fair Share Goal - Nov. 30th the previous year.  (Granted to every state that achieves 1 percent.)
  6. 10% President’s Circle Members:  This award recognizes any state that recruits 10% of their Major Investors as President’s Circle members.  *A state may receive this award even if they do not receive the 1% Major investor award; therefore, the state is recognized for recruiting 10% of their current Major investor pool as President’s Circle members. (Granted to every state that achieves 10 %.)
  7. Most New Major Investors: This award will be granted to the state that increases their total number of Major Investors at any level (Sterling, Crystal & Golden) over the previous year.   (Granted to only one state in each size category.)
  8. Highest Average Major Investor Contribution Amount: This award will be granted to the state with the highest average of Major Investor dollars.  (Granted to only one state in each size category.)
  9. Triple Crown Award: This award recognizes any state that meets that year’s 1) fair share goal, 2) participation goal and 3) Major Investor and President’s Circle member goals

There are also two additional awards where all 54 states and territories compete against each other: Overall Highest % of Goal:  This award recognizes the state with the highest percent over goal. Largest Increase over Previous Year:  This award recognizes the state with the largest increase over the previous year.
