Donor Program

The activities of the TAC Foundation are largely funded by single-year or multi-year commitments from a diverse group of donor organizations and individuals. Donors at the Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze levels are recognized at the Annual TAC Conference & Exhibition, on the TAC Foundation website and in other opportunities that may arise, unless the TAC Foundation is instructed otherwise. Donors with Named Scholarships* also receive added recognition in specific TAC Foundation scholarship promotions and listings.
