Purpose
To acquire philanthropic support for the major initiatives in public health programming and education sponsored by the Texas Medical Association for the benefit of Texans.
Funding Objectives
Initiatives supported by TMAF reflect TMA’s current population health, science, medical education and quality of care priorities. In addition, they reflect many of TMAF’s operating principles:
- Stimulate partnerships with others who share the vision and purposes of the Texas Medical Association in matters of public health;
- Support primarily short-term, high-impact, high-visibility programs;
- Seek development of public health programs by providing funds for planning;
- Multiply funding effectiveness by joining with other interested organizations and agencies with common program objectives; and
- Make maximal use of volunteer services.
