- Reimbursements: Associations must submit for reimbursement within 30 days of their event. Failure to do so can result in an association not being reimbursed for an event. Reimbursements for the year must be submitted by the year-end RPAC transmittal deadline (currently the third Wednesday in December). Reimbursement discrepancy issues must be brought to NAR’s attention within the same calendar year the association received the reimbursement.
- Associations must provide proof of funds raised as a direct result of fundraising efforts in either the PAC Management System or by submitting an Excel document.
- Associations are required to notify NAR of event date changes and cancellations as soon as possible.
- Applications submitted within 30 days of a fundraising event must include a written explanation for tardiness to be submitted with the application for consideration by the RPAC Trustees approval committee.
- Fundraising efforts cannot exclusively target NAR Major Investors. The audience for events should target the general membership or large segments of the general membership. i.e. YPN, new investors, lapsed investors
- An association can only submit a grant request meant to fund the applicant association event.
- Reimbursement of grant funds that exclusively pay for prizes and entertainment at a fundraising event are dependent on the event raising 3 times the cost of the prizes and entertainment. Failure to raise 3 times the cost of prizes and entertainment will result in the reimbursement equaling one-third of the total funds raised.
- Grant funds cannot be used for transportation or accommodation costs related to a fundraising event.
- Long Term Campaigns (i.e. email campaigns, inter- association competitions): Applications must be submitted 30 days prior to the campaign or competition beginning as opposed to 30 days prior to awarding the competition winner.
- Application and Reimbursement Edits:
- Application will include a question on whether the association has consulted with a state association or an in-state attorney on the legality of their proposed fundraising effort.
- Application will ask for association Member ID or association ID number.
- Reimbursement will ask for participation rate changes as a result of the fundraising effort.
