Broker Action Coalition Launches Grassroots Fundraising Campaign to Support Expanded Advocacy Agenda

The Broker Action Coalition (BAC) is launching a week-long fundraising campaign targeting individual mortgage brokers across the country, running from March 2-6, to build sustainable grassroots support for the organization's expanding advocacy agenda. This initiative comes fresh off the coalition's landmark victory with the Homebuyers Privacy Protection Act, which goes into effect this week. Brendan McKay, Chief Advocacy Officer for BAC, emphasized the need for continued support, stating, "We've proven what we can accomplish when brokers have a seat at the table. But this is just the beginning. We need brokers to step up and support the work that directly benefits their businesses and their clients."

The campaign focuses on recurring monthly donations of as little as $5 per month, which BAC messaging frames as "the cost of one Starbucks drink." While the organization has historically relied on corporate partnerships, this push represents a strategic shift toward building a broader base of individual donor support. Rachel Clark, Executive Director of BAC, explained this strategic move, saying, "We want our corporate partners to see that we have backing from the community we serve. Individual broker support strengthens our voice and demonstrates the industry-wide commitment to the reforms we're fighting for."

This fundraising initiative is particularly important as BAC expands its advocacy priorities beyond trigger lead reform to include lowering credit report costs, LO comp reform, and protecting brokers from overregulation. Donations will support BAC's 2026 legislative agenda, ongoing advocacy efforts, and the infrastructure needed to maintain broker representation in regulatory discussions. The organization plans to announce its corporate partners for the coming year in the coming months, as it has done in previous years.

BAC is encouraging brokers to visit https://givebutter.com/bacmonthly to set up recurring monthly donations and join the growing coalition of mortgage professionals advocating for industry reform. The organization's broader mission is detailed on its main website at https://www.brokeractioncoalition.com, where it describes its work to level the playing field between independent mortgage brokers and retail banks, support inclusive homebuying policy change, and fight for the needs of Veterans, minorities, and underserved communities to make the American dream of homeownership possible for more people than ever before.
