FIREPAC Century Club Challenge

The FIREPAC Century Club recognizes IAFF district, state and local affiliates for outstanding fundraising for FIREPAC.

What Is the FIREPAC 100% Challenge?

Each year, IAFF affiliates at the district, state and local levels that meet or exceed their FIREPAC dollar goal become a member of the FIREPAC Century Club and receive a certificate in recognition of their commitment to FIREPAC. 

In addition, the affiliate that exceeds its dollar target by the largest percentage in each of the six membership size categories, as well as at the district and state association level, receives a “Best In class” certificate in recognition of its extraordinary effort.  A certificate is also awarded in each category for the affiliate that raises the largest amount of money. All certificates are awarded annually at either the IAFF Legislative Conference in odd-numbered years or at the biennial IAFF Convention in even-numbered years.  Special recognition is also made in the International Fire Fighter.

How Does an IAFF Affiliate Join the FIREPAC Century Club?
Each year, every IAFF local is assigned a target goal for raising voluntary FIREPAC contributions from their members. Fundraising targets are determined by multiplying a local’s membership size and a dollar amount. Every district, state and local that reaches its FIREPAC dollar goal will automatically become a member of the FIREPAC Century Club. In 2006, 650 IAFF affiliates at the district, state, and local levels reached or exceeded their FIREPAC targets. View the list of 2007 Century Club members (pdf).  For 2007, each local’s FIREPAC target will be based on its membership size multiplied by $12 a member. Therefore, the FIREPAC target for a local with 100 members would be $1,200.

Many locals have found it easier to meet their FIREPAC target goal by establishing a FIREPAC Check-Off program, which allows members to contribute to FIREPAC via payroll deduction. To learn how your local can begin a FIREPAC Check-Off Program, click here.

How Can Small and Large Locals Compete Fairly?
To make the competition fair, the IAFF has classified locals into six categories to ensure that locals of similar size will be competing against  one another.
