Taccho also conducts educational meetings and prepares and distributes educational materials to federal and state legislators.

What it reported doing in 2024

Memberships - taccho is committed to public health practice in local communities and assisting members in reaching their goals. As advocates for the health and well-being of texans, taccho functions as an information resource by monitoring and researching public health news, laws, trends and related actions to keep members updated on the events that effect their everyday operations. Members utilize and share best public health practices, including, but not limited to, disease surveillance, disease prevention and control, public health infrastructure and accreditation preparation, obesity, chronic disease, education and prevention, heart health and awareness, emergency preparedness and response and public health education.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
