What it reported doing in 2025

To educate the public, legislators, and regulatory entities about the benefits of telehealth services and expanded patient choices.

This activity furthers the exempt purpose of TAFA by generating awareness and education about remote healthcare services and its importance to the future of healthcare.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
