Texas Association of Charitable Clinics

What Texas Association of Charitable Clinics does

Texas Association of Charitable Clinics (TXACC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership association founded in 2005 and headquartered in Austin, Texas (Tax ID 33-1115138). It supports a network of more than 75 free and charitable clinics across Texas that collectively serve over 220,000 uninsured Texans annually through 8,600+ volunteer doctors, nurses, and staff. TXACC operates as a capacity-building association rather than a direct healthcare provider or technology vendor, focusing on the independent nonprofit clinics that serve as its members and the uninsured patients they treat.

The organization's core offerings include the TXACC Standards Seal Program (Silver and Gold tiers) that provides third-party quality recognition to member clinics, a members-only Resource Center (txacc-resource.mn.co) providing funding alerts, operational templates, and educational content, an interactive Clinic Finder Map for uninsured Texans to locate nearby clinics by zip code, and a tiered membership program. Its business model rests on three revenue streams: membership dues (ranging from $192.50 for individual supporters to $300-$600 annually for clinics based on operating budget), individual and corporate donations ($100-$1,000 tiers), and grant funding secured through state-level advocacy. Distribution is primarily direct membership enrollment supplemented by community-led peer engagement through monthly meetings and a Google Group, plus civic-sector supporter partnerships with organizations including CVS Health, Americares, Mark Cuban Company, Verato, Texas State University, and HTX.

TXACC is governed by a Board of Directors with representation from Healthconnect Texas (Board Chair Junaid Husain), Texas Health Resources, Temple Community Clinic, UT MD Anderson, Texas State University, and others. It runs on a lean staff of two full-time employees (Executive Director Paula Walker, RPh and Director of Communications and Operations Karolina Rivera) plus a student intern, with two additional Directors of Strategic Initiatives supporting the Texas Charitable Pharmacy Services (TCPS) initiative. The organization's technology stack is minimal, relying on a WordPress website, a Mighty Networks community portal, and standard productivity tools rather than proprietary software.

Direct peers

• National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics (NAFC): NAFC is the national membership organization for free and charitable clinics in the U.S., directly analogous to TXACC but at the federal level. Both organizations serve as advocacy, training, and resource hubs for charitable clinic networks, making NAFC TXACC's most direct structural peer and potential parent-affiliate relationship.
• Charitable Healthcare Network (formerly OACHC): Ohio-based statewide association of free and charitable clinics, operating an almost identical model to TXACC: membership dues, standards programs, advocacy, training, and clinic finder maps. Serves as the closest geographic/state-level functional analogue to TXACC's Texas network.
• Volunteers in Medicine Alliance: National nonprofit that supports a network of volunteer-based free clinics, focusing on healthcare access for the uninsured. Operates a similar clinic-support model with standards, training, and advocacy — comparable to TXACC but with broader national reach and a different member-engagement structure.

Broad incumbents

• Americares: Major humanitarian aid organization focused on health, already a TXACC supporter. Americares operates free clinic programs and provides resources to safety-net providers nationally, making it a broader incumbent with overlapping membership/partnership territory with TXACC.
• National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC): National advocacy and membership association for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), which overlap with TXACC's charitable clinic members in serving uninsured populations. NACHC represents the broader, federally-supported version of TXACC's safety-net clinic advocacy mission.
• Texas Medical Association: Large Texas-based professional medical association providing advocacy, CME, and member services to physicians across the state. Comparable to TXACC in its Texas advocacy focus but serves physicians rather than charitable clinics directly.
• Direct Relief: Large humanitarian aid organization providing medical resources to safety-net clinics and health centers across the U.S. Operates as a supplier/funder to charitable clinics — comparable ecosystem role to Americares and a tangential partner for organizations like TXACC.

Emerging players

• Texas Health Institute: Texas-based independent, nonprofit health policy research organization. Operates in adjacent space to TXACC's advocacy role, focusing on health equity and policy research for underserved populations in Texas.
• Healthy Texas Alliance: Smaller Texas-focused health advocacy coalition addressing healthcare access for low-income and uninsured residents. Functions in a similar geographic and population-health space as TXACC but with a broader advocacy rather than clinic-support focus.

Others

• Texas 2036 Health Care Initiative: Texas-based policy organization focused on long-term state health and economic outcomes. Functions as an adjacent policy advocate for healthcare access in Texas, with potential thematic alignment to TXACC's safety-net mission.
