How are State and Local IMPAC funded?
Funding for C.A.R.’s Issues Mobilization Political Action Committee (IMPAC) comes primarily from a $10.00 set aside from the members’ dues, which is deposited in the Issue Action Fund (IAF).

The IAF first pays for:
  • Administrative Costs of CREPAC/Candidate PACs
  • Administrative Costs of IMPAC

After these administrative costs, the remainder is allocated as follows:
  • State IMPAC Account (70%)
  • Local IMPAC Accounts (30%)
In addition, State and Local IMPAC historically received a small percentage of Political Survival funds raised by local Associations (State: 5% and Local: 10%). Beginning in 2001, these funds no longer come directly from Political Survival, but are allocated from the Political Activities Fund (PAF), from C.A.R. dues (for tax purposes). Amounts distributed to State and Local IMPAC Funds were not changed, and Local IMPAC funds continue to be distributed to local Association accounts based on their Political Survival contribution rates.
CANDIDATE PACs
The California Real Estate PAC (CREPAC) and your local Board of REALTORS® PAC (BORPAC), and the REALTORS® PAC (RPAC), are your REALTOR® survival plan. One of the most important services organized real estate provides is representation in the halls of government.
ISSUE PACs
The Issues Mobilization Political Action Committee (IMPAC), is a non-profit, bi-partisan committee of REALTORS®. Its purpose is to support or oppose state and local ballot measures. IMPAC also supports lobbying advocacy and educational efforts that further the mission of your local association and CAR. Funds collected for each board are held in trust by IMPAC in an account reserved for your Association’s exclusive use.
