    About National Association of Realtors

    The National Association of Realtors is primarily funding industry advocacy and political campaigns that protect property owners and oppose local tax/landlord-facing ballot measures. Most grants flow to state and local REALTOR associations and allied advocacy groups to support lobbying, ballot measure work, and messaging campaigns that defend homeownership and oppose vacancy/property tax increases. A small portion funds homeowner-targeted programs (including seniors) and issue-specific advocacy organizations.

    Focus Areas

    State and local REALTOR association operating and advocacy support (e.g., Illinois, Washington, Texas AORs)Opposition campaigns to local property/vacancy tax and rent-control ballot measures (e.g., No on Measure efforts, Stop the South Tahoe Vacancy Tax)Property owner advocacy groups and coalitions (e.g., American Property Owners Alliance, homeowners alliances)Industry political mobilization and PAC support (e.g., Realtors Issues Mobilization Committee)Targeted homeowner support initiatives for seniors and families (e.g., Homeownership for Families and Tax Savings for Seniors)

    About National Association of Realtors

    The National Association of Realtors’ largest recent grant went to American Property Owners Alliance, with awards of $8,612,000 in 2023, $4,612,000 in 2024, and $6,612,000 in 2025 for general support. That pattern points to a funder that repeatedly backs property-owner advocacy groups and state-level REALTOR organizations rather than one-off projects. Across the recent grants list, support also reaches statewide associations in Illinois, Washington, Texas, and other states, along with ballot-measure campaigns tied to property taxes, vacancy taxes, and rent-control fights. Some of the larger awards go to groups organized around homeownership messaging and mobilization, including Homeownership for Families and Tax Savings for Seniors and Realtors Issues Mobilization Committee. The foundation’s grantmaking is public charity-based and program-related investments are also part of its structure. In the recent record, most awards are general support, suggesting flexible funding for organizations engaged in advocacy, coalition work, and issue campaigns connected to property ownership and housing policy.

    What National Association of Realtors Funds

    A major share of support goes to state and local REALTOR associations. The National Association of Realtors gave $1,012,576 to Illinois Aor in 2025, $815,000 to Texas Aor in 2024, and $655,000 to Washington Aor in 2025, all for general support. It also funded Wyoming Aor, New York State Aor, Oregon Aor, Utah Aor, Kansas Aor, and Florida Aor with general support grants in the same recent period. Another visible theme is ballot-measure advocacy around local taxes and housing rules. Grants include $625,000 to No on Measure N Stop the South Tahoe Vacancy Tax, $500,000 to Angelenos Against Higher Property Taxes, and $500,000 to No on Measure Ccsave Santa Ana. The foundation also supported Smart Coast California and Wisconsin Homeowners Alliance, both focused on homeowner and property-owner advocacy. It also funds targeted homeowner messaging and mobilization, including $3,500,000 to Homeownership for Families and Tax Savings for Seniors and $1,352,132 to Realtors Issues Mobilization Committee.

    How National Association of Realtors Gives

    Recent grant sizes cluster around modest-to-mid-sized awards, with a p25 of $6,500, a median of $12,000, and a p75 of $33,870. The list also shows a separate layer of much larger advocacy grants, especially to statewide associations and coalition groups. Repeated recipients appear across multiple years, including American Property Owners Alliance, Illinois Aor, Washington Aor, Colorado Aor, South Carolina Aor, Utah Aor, and others, which indicates recurring support rather than isolated gifts. The funder is a public charity, and it also makes program-related investments. The recent grant record shows general support as the dominant stated purpose, and it does not indicate an unsolicited application process.
