Corporate Ally Program
The Corporate Ally Program (CAP) is an advocacy partnership between corporate entities and the REALTORS® Political Action Committee (RPAC) that gives our real estate business partners the ability to invest corporate dollars to strengthen the industry and support issue campaigns. Funds are invested in political advocacy and issue campaigns at the local, state, and federal levels in order to promote an environment conducive to buying, selling, and owning real estate.
As part of the program, East Tennessee REALTORS® provides numerous benefits at each Corporate Ally level. Read below to learn more about the benefits provided this year.
