TAXPAYERS PROTECTION ALLIANCE

What TAXPAYERS PROTECTION ALLIANCE does

Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) is a Washington, D.C.-based 501(c)(4) non-profit organization founded in 2016 to conduct research, policy analysis, and public education on the effects of government spending, regulation, and fiscal policy on taxpayers and consumers. The organization positions itself as non-partisan and frames its work around market principles and federalist philosophy, targeting a broad audience of general taxpayers, federal and state policymakers and their staff, and journalists covering fiscal and regulatory issues. Leadership includes President David Williams, Executive Director Ross Marchand, Research Director David B. McGarry, and Director of Telecom Policy Johnny Kampis.

TPA's core outputs are research products rather than commercial goods: published reports and policy briefs on broadband, trade, healthcare, financial regulation, and tobacco harm reduction; the recurring Bill of the Month program tracking federal and state legislation; a 50-state tobacco and vaping analysis; the Free Trade Center (launched 2024) as a dedicated trade-policy resource hub; a Consumer Center portal; and a blog/newsroom for current commentary. The technology stack is essentially a content-publishing platform centered on the protectingtaxpayers.org website, with distribution via email newsletter, SMS/MMS alerts, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, PR Newswire press releases, and hosted webinars with international experts.

The business model is contribution-funded rather than revenue-generating: as a 501(c)(4), TPA does not sell products or services and operates without disclosed revenue, public pricing, or external investors. Funding flows from individuals and organizations supporting the mission, with two operational entities recorded in Washington, D.C. (Taxpayers Protection Association and Taxpayers Protection Association Foundation). Strategic partnerships — notably a 2023 co-authored broadband report with American Action Forum and coalition advocacy work alongside AARP — extend reach without altering the non-commercial model.
