The decision to remit payment for voluntary dues is strictly yours. If you elect to pay those dues simply remit the amount listed in the total dues at the bottom of the invoice. Should you choose not to include some or all of the voluntary dues, simply subtract them from the amount listed in the total dues line and remit the revised payment.

CREDA Legislative Support Voluntary Contributions are for U.S. members only.

Legislative Issues Fund (LIF): Funds collected for LIF support CREDA's legislative efforts (Link: Advocate). LIF contributions are fully tax deductible.

Contributions to both LIF are voluntary and are not required for CREDA membership. The contribution requested is only a suggested amount. You may contribute more or less than that amount or make no contribution whatsoever. CREDA will not look upon with favor or disfavor any member by reason of the amount of their contribution or their decision not to contribute. If not contributing, or if contributing an amount different than that shown on the face of the statement, make the appropriate addition or reduction from the total amount shown as due.

The following will apply to Legislative Support Contributions:

  • LLCs or LLPs: If your legislative support contribution is paid by a limited liability company (LLC) that has elected to be taxed as a partnership, or a limited liability partnership (LLP), it will be deposited to CREDA-PAC. Federal Election Commission guidelines require that the contributor inform CREDA that they are eligible to make the contribution and to which partners the contribution should be attributed. CREDA will use its best efforts to determine attribution. If CREDA is unable to obtain the required information, or unless otherwise notified, CREDA will assume it is an eligible contribution and attribute the contribution to the partner who is a full member of CREDA.

CREDA Research Foundation: Each year, the Research Foundation conducts studies and produces outstanding reports that educate commercial real estate professional and can be used to demonstrate the benefits of the industry.

Other items: Chapters may have additional voluntary contributions. Please contact your chapter for more details.

The non-deductible amount shown on your invoice indicates the portion your national and chapter dues that is nondeductible for federal income tax purposes. This represents the amount used for lobbying. The remainder of your dues may be deducted as ordinary business expenses.
