TMA Foundation

TMA Foundation, a 501 (c)(3) organization, is the philanthropic arm of TMA. It is the only philanthropy in Texas dedicated to the charitable concerns of all physicians. TMAF’s mission is to "fund initiatives with the power to help physicians create a healthier future for all Texans." TMA projects funded by TMAF are selected on their ability to target urgent health needs affecting a large segment of the state's residents with results that can be measured. Projects often involve public-private collaborations, which maximize the effectiveness of programs and enable efforts to be tailored to meet local needs.  Learn more about TMA Foundation.

The 2021 gala, Superheroes: Meeting the Challenge, is a tribute to the many Texans who are working to keep you and your family, friends and colleagues safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as TMA and TMA Alliance member volunteers who improve the health of Texans though TMAF-funded programs. Join us in celebrating physicians, nurses, first responders, and others on Friday, May 14, 2021 at 7:00 pm for the first TMAF virtual gala. Tickets and sponsorships are available now.

Thousands of underserved Texans in Dallas/Fort Worth and Galveston will have access to health care, locally grown food, and COVID-19 testing thanks to the three special health care nonprofits presented the TMAF’s John P. McGovern Champion of Health Awards for 2021.

You are a PULSE donor when you donate monthly (or at the frequency of your choice). Regular contributions ensure TMA Foundation can support unanticipated funding opportunities. Pulse Donors ensure a healthy Texas.

Thanks to the generosity of a record number of donors in 2020, TMAF grants are supporting 30 initiatives that will help uninsured and underserved Texans facing chronic health conditions, who lack access to care, and need science-based information to make health decisions. All programs funded by TMAF are developed and carried out by TMA and TMAA members in collaboration with community organizations that share the passion to improve the health of all Texans. 

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 and medical students and alliance members over the long term.
