DSAPAC

Policy decisions shape the environment in which direct selling companies operate and independent sellers choose to participate. DSAPAC helps ensure the direct selling channel has a voice in those conversations. DSAPAC is DSA’s federal political action committee. It gives eligible individuals at DSA member companies a way to support federal candidates who understand direct selling, value independent work, and engage on issues affecting the channel.

Why It Matters

Direct selling depends on clear, practical rules that reflect how the channel works. DSAPAC complements DSA’s broader advocacy by helping build relationships with policymakers who understand compliant direct selling, flexible independent participation, and the role the channel plays in American entrepreneurship.

What DSAPAC Supports

DSAPAC supports federal candidates and committees whose work aligns with DSA’s policy priorities, including:

  • Preserving independent seller status
  • Supporting compliant direct selling practices
  • Promoting clear, practical legislative and regulatory standards
  • Helping policymakers understand the direct selling channel


DSA member companies whose eligible executives contribute an aggregate of $2,500 may be invited to have a CEO or other senior executive participate on the PAC Committee.

PAC Committee participation may include political briefings, DSAPAC updates, event access, and recognition at DSA meetings and in DSA publications, where appropriate.

Federal law prohibits corporate contributions to PACs. Eligible executive and administrative personnel of DSA member companies may make voluntary personal contributions to DSAPAC, subject to federal election law.

Participation is voluntary. Contributions are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Eligible individuals may contribute by completing the DSAPAC contribution form.

Companies may complete the solicitation release form to authorize DSA to communicate with eligible personnel about DSAPAC participation.

Credit card information should not be submitted by email.

DSAPAC is a separate, segregated fund established by the Direct Selling Association to pool voluntary contributions for political purposes. You have the right to refuse to contribute without reprisal. The amount contributed, or a decision not to contribute, will not benefit or disadvantage the person being solicited. Any suggested contribution amount is only a suggestion; more or less than the suggested amount may be given. Contributions to DSAPAC are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal tax purposes. Federal law requires DSAPAC to use its best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation, and employer of individuals whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year.
