Make Your REALTOR® PAC Investment Now!

Did you know the State of Oregon offers a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for every $50 (individual) and $100 (joint return) investment in the REALTOR® PAC?

What is REALTOR® PAC?

REALTOR® PAC is a voluntary non-profit political action committee that provides members the opportunity to elect policy makers who share the interests of REALTORS® in providing housing that is affordable, protecting private property rights and supporting the free enterprise system.  REALTOR® PAC offers REALTORS® the ability to speak with a unified voice and helps facilitate continued success. To learn more, see our Frequently Asked Questions or a Guide to the REALTOR® PAC.

An Investment in REALTOR® PAC Pays Off

By pooling REALTOR® PAC contributions, REALTORS® support candidates who support real estate interests and pass favorable legislation while defeating new regulations and laws that negatively impact your business.  Seventy percent of what Oregon REALTORS® raise stays in the state for use on state and local elections. Meeting our goal is crucial to the real estate industry, not just statewide, but locally as well. Where does Oregon stand in terms of meeting its goal?  Where does your local association stand?

REALTOR® PAC Protects Your Livelihood

The Oregon Association of REALTORS® continues to fight for the interests of REALTORS® and their clients.  The Association will continue to support balanced policies that appeal to members of both major parties.  Finally, it will work with legislative leadership to ensure that all legislators consider the effects of their decisions on the American Dream of homeownership. To be successful, we need your commitment and investment in REALTOR® PAC.  REALTOR® PAC investments have effectively helped to achieve legislative victories and successfully fought legislative attacks on the industry.

REALTOR® PAC is Insurance for Your Business

The REALTOR® PAC makes sure each voice is heard and the industry is protected. With REALTOR® PAC, REALTORS® from across the state have the chance to come together and become active in the nation's most powerful and effective grassroots advocacy effort.

RPAC Disclaimer
Contributions to RPAC are voluntary and are used for political purposes. Contributions are not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The amount indicated is merely a guideline and you may contribute more or less than the suggested amount. The Association will not favor or disadvantage anyone by reason of the amount of their contribution, and you may refuse to contribute without reprisal by the Association. ORS 316.102 provides for a credit against state taxes not to exceed $50 per individual or $100 per joint return for contributions to political committees as defined in ORS 260.005. Every year, RPAC sets a monetary goal for contributions from Oregon, known as Oregon's "fair share." Until the Oregon PAC reaches the "fair share" goal, 70% of each contribution is used by the Oregon PAC to support state and local political candidates. The balance is sent to National RPAC to support federal candidates and is charged against your limits under 2 U.S.C. 441a. After the Oregon PAC reaches the "fair share" goal, 100% of each contribution is used by the Oregon PAC to support state and local political candidates. RPAC contribution checks must be drawn on a personal checking account. If a corporate check used to pay dues includes a voluntary RPAC contribution, the contribution will be considered a contribution to NAR's Political Advocacy Fund (PAF).
