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.

Deadline for entries is Oct. 31; winners will be notified in December.

At TMA Foundation’s recent virtual gala physicians and the health care team were recognized, thanked, and honored for their tireless commitment to the health of all Texans. Donors can become a superhero too with a gift to TMAF that will improve the health of all Texans by ensuring we win a generous $10,000 challenge grant from the John P. McGovern Foundation, Houston.

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.
