CALA PAC Mission Statement 

The CALA PAC will support candidates and officeholders who:

  • recognize the value of assisted living;
  • are committed to preserving and promoting consumer choice; and
  • recognize that the goal is the right regulations, not the volume of regulations.

Why Should My Organization Contribute?

The Assisted Living Profession needs your help!  Your contribution will go a long way toward preserving and promoting the assisted living concept in California.  Recently, there have been efforts to impose inflexible price controls, eliminate the “level of care” model, require all units to be fully accessible rather than adaptable, impose restrictive standards on those with Alzheimer’s that could dramatically restrict residents’ choice, independence, dignity, and quality of life.  Your contribution will enable CALA to actively support the election and reelection of candidates who understand that such proposals, while well-intentioned, are misguided and detrimental to an assisted living fundamental – flexible and personalized services. 

Who Can Contribute?

  • Corporations and individuals
  • Employees of contributing organizations can also contribute individually (contributions  cannot be reimbursed)
  • CALA associate members
  • 501(c)3 organizations cannot contribute, but employees may make individual contributions

What is the Contribution Limit? 

The maximum annual contribution per entity (corporation or individual) is $6,000.  Contributions are voluntary and are not tax deductible.

How Does My Organization Contribute?

CALA recommends a $5.00 per unit contribution.  Your dues statement will include a line for this suggested contribution, of course you may contribute more or less (subject to contribution limits).  Other opportunities to contribute include special fundraising events at CALA Conferences.  Special recognition is granted to independent providers, multi-facility corporations, individuals, and associate members who contribute at specific levels. Please make checks payable to CALA PAC
