TMA Foundation

Is there a worthy health improvement program in your community? If so, consider nominating it for the 2021 TMAF John P. McGovern Champion of Health Award which carries a first place prize of $7,500.

An anonymous donor couple generously matched the first $10,500 “Make-A-Difference” donations contributed by the donors listed below. All total, more than $21,525 was raised for TMA’s Hard Hats for Little Heads!

Special thanks to the John P. McGovern Foundation for matching the first $10,000 in gifts to TMAF’s Star Campaign! Since 2006, the McGovern Foundation has led this generous, unrestricted gift matching opportunity to create a Healthy Now and a Healthy Future! TMAF deeply appreciates these 46 donors who together contributed a record $20,625 to more than meet the match and improve the health of all Texans.

More than 130 guests joined online for TMA Foundation’s first virtual gala, Superheroes: Meeting the Challenge, on Friday, May 14, in conjunction with TexMed 2021. Thanks to top sponsor H-E-B and 42 others, an estimated $275,000 was raised to improve the health of all Texans.

This year, TMAF grants are already supporting 30 public health initiatives thanks to the generosity of a record number of donors in 2020. 

Together, and in collaboration with community organizations like the TMAA, we're supporting uninsured and underserved Texans who face chronic health conditions, lack access to care, and need science-based information to make health decisions.

Join more than 120 of your colleagues whose gifts to the TMAF General Endowment are providing sustained philanthropic funding for the community health improvement work of TMA physicians, medical students and alliance members over the long term.
