More than 100 NAHB members serve on the BUILD-PAC Board of Trustees, the body that decides which candidates receive support. Only NAHB members may be solicited to contribute to BUILD-PAC, and there are varying giving levels from which they may choose: CAPITOL CLUB – $5,000 annually or $1,666 tri-annually PLATINUM CLUB – $2,500 annually or $625 quarterly GOLD KEY CLUB – $1,000 annually or $250 quarterly DOLLAR-A-DAY CLUB – $365 annually CENTURY CLUB – $100 annually Participation is critical. That’s why BUILD-PAC this year created a new Fair Share level. With a contribution of just $25, far more members can join the fight for housing. BUILD-PAC can accept only personal funds.
