The Political Survival Fund consists of donated money from REALTOR® members and others who are interested in protecting real estate interests and property rights. Political Survival Fund contributions help support candidates for federal offices but the majority of PSF dollars go toward local interests. Such as candidates for local offices who promote the goals of the REALTOR® organization. The Political Survival Fund is nonpartisan, supporting above all else REALTOR® interests. Political Survival Fund monies are distributed among 3 PACs:

• REALTOR® Candidate Political Action Committee (RCPAC)
• REALTOR® Issues Political Action Committee (RIPAC)
• REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC)

Who may contribute to PSF?

REALTOR® members are encouraged to make personal PSF contributions. Affiliate members who vote or who pay dues at the local level are also eligible to contribute. Remember this is a personal contribution we can not accept corporate checks.

How are PSF dollars distributed?

The majority of PSF dollars are used locally after approval of local requests by state-level trustees or committee members. Local boards are able to fund local issues and candidates through RCPAC, and RIPAC monies.

Each local board has access to all PACs and committees (RIPAC, RCPAC). Local Boards are encouraged to submit funding requests to the committee or trustees of the PAC for use of the PAC Funds to either support/oppose ballot issues and referenda, candidates or issues.

How are local board PSF fundraising Goals determined?

Board Goals are based on the number of members multiplied by a set dollar amount. For example, 2006 goals are calculated by multiplying the number of members by approximately $20.00.
