The Issues Mobilization Grant, which is part of NAR’s Campaign Services, provides financial assistance to state and local REALTOR® associations to organize and manage effective state and local issue advocacy campaigns to promote positions on public policies (government laws, regulations, courses of action and funding priorities) that affect REALTOR® interests. Methods of promoting a position include legislation, ordinances, referenda, and constitutional amendments.
Issues Mobilization Grants may not be applied for, nor may any portion of a grant awarded be used for, any activities related directly or indirectly to candidate elections*, electoral mechanics, public employees or legal action.
Below is list of services for the Issues Mobilization program.
