The PAC has raised $1,0322,809.90 from January 2025 through December 2025, and contributions are continuing to come in. Please encourage your members to contribute through the campaign to help NARFE-PAC reach it goals in this new cycle.
NARFE-PAC continues to find ways to engage members with their lawmakers. We are constantly looking for local fundraisers for NARFE members to attend on behalf of NARFE-PAC. If you learn of an event or would like assistance finding one, please email advocacy@narfe.org. The advocacy department can assist with coordinating attendance and submitting a NARFE-PAC contribution. As a reminder, all local fundraising events must be approved by headquarters before members attend in order to make a disbursement.

The full breakdown of NARFE-PAC contributions can be accessed here. Contributions are listed in three reports, broken down by state, region, chapter, or national only. Use this information to see how your chapter or federation performed.
Note that changes in individual membership status, such as chapter membership or lapsed membership, affect chapter and federation contribution totals. Just above the grand total for the entire report (A250) is a section labeled “Other”. This section accounts for contributions from lapsed members who have not yet renewed their memberships. The contributions cannot be placed under a specific chapter or federation because the members are lapsed.
