As a nonprofit, nonpartisan public health policy, research, and advocacy organization, TFAH envisions a nation that values the health and well-being of all and where prevention and health equity are foundational to policymaking at all levels of society. Across the range of public health issues TFAH addressed, including public health emergency preparedness, public health funding, obesity and chronic disease prevention, infectious disease, substance misuse and suicide, healthy aging, health equity, social determinants of health, and prevention, TFAH promoted public health policies that affect the entire nation, with an emphasis on how such policies and programs can promote healthy individuals and communities regardless of geography.TFAH maintains and enhances its work with partners on high-impact health issues. Throughout its efforts, TFAH is also committed to advancing health equity and addressing the social determinants of health, which are the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live, and age, including through collaborative, multisectoral approaches. TFAHs work is guided by values of equity, independence, evidence-based, trust, partnerships, innovation, and financial stewardship.TFAHs projects focused on advancing an evidence-based public health system that is ready to meet the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. TFAH successfully published evidence-based reports; developed and advanced effective policy recommendations and approaches; hosted policy convenings on national and state-focused policy issues; convened learning collaboratives; spearheaded targeted initiatives and outreach; collaborated with partners at the national, state, local, tribal, and territorial levels; and produced educational resources.Among TFAHs accomplishments in 2024:TFAH hosted an in-person and livestream event featuring the release of its Blueprint for6 Strengthening Public Health for the Next Administration and Congress at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. This report is the fifth in a series of reports TFAH publishes every four years to inform the incoming Congress and Administration of key, national public health issues and to advance evidence-informed, actionable recommendations to promote and protect the publics health. The 2024 Blueprint report provided the Administration and Congress taking office in 2025 a policy roadmap to improve the nations health outcomes and bolster its economic and national security by strengthening the public health system. The report includes recommendations across six priority areas and was authored after consultation with over 45 public health officials, experts, and organizations. The event featured highlights from the report as well as engaging conversations with high-profile speakers, including The Honorable Michael O. Leavitt, 20th Secretary of Health and Human Services (2005 to 2009) and former Governor of Utah, and The Honorable Kathleen Sebelius, 21st Secretary of Health and Human Services (2009 to 2014) and former Governor of Kansas.TFAH planned and hosted a congressional briefing and national webinar on its release of Ready or Not 2024: Protecting the Publics Health from Disease, Disasters, and Bioterrorism. This annual report identifies strengths and gaps in national and state preparedness to protect residents health during emergencies and makes recommendations to strengthen the nations public health system and improve emergency readiness. As the nation experiences an increasing number of infectious disease outbreaks and extreme weather events, the report found that while emergency preparedness has improved in some areas, policymakers are not heeding the lessons of past emergencies, funding cuts, and health misinformation, putting decades of progress at risk. During the briefing, a panel of subject matter experts discussed the nations readiness for public health emergencies, examined the report's findings, and discussed key recommendations for policymakers.TFAH planned and hosted a congressional briefing and national webinar on its release of Pain in the Nation 2024: The Epidemics of Alcohol, Drug and Suicide Deaths. This annual report found that a decrease in the alcohol-induced mortality rate led to a slightly lower combined rate of all U.S. deaths due to alcohol, drugs, and suicide in 2022, but the long-term trend of such deaths is still alarmingly high. The report also includes a special feature on polysubstance misuse and overdose. During the briefing, a panel of subject matter experts discussed steps policymakers should take to begin to reverse these crises.TFAH released The Impact of Chronic Underfunding on Americas Public Health System 2024: Trends, Risks, and Recommendations. This annual report tracks federal and state investments in public health and finds that funding for core public health infrastructure has remained relatively flat over the past decade, while the nations population and health risks have increased. According to the report, the countrys rising rates of chronic disease and its insufficient response to the COVID-19 public health emergency were due in part to decades of underinvestment in public health infrastructure and its workforce. A further concern is that the health security advancements made when policymakers increased public health funding in response to the COVID-19 public health emergency are now at risk as this funding comes to an end.TFAH released State of Obesity 2024: Better Policies for a Healthier America. This annual report tracks U.S. obesity rates by state, race, gender, and age and offers policy solutions. Obesity rates nationwide continue to be at epidemic levels and are predominantly highest in communities experiencing barriers to healthy eating and those with few opportunities for physical activity.TFAH released Building Resilience: How Recent Federal Policy is Laying the Groundwork for Improved Climate Adaptation. This policy brief examines the intersections between climate adaptation and public health, analyzing three federal actions: the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, and the Justice40 Initiative. It discusses the value of comprehensive and multisector climate adaptation approaches and the importance of public health agencies being at the table during climate adaptation programs planning. TFAH continued to co-lead the Public Health Communications Collaborative (PHCC). PHCC is a trusted source of messaging and communications support that is used by federal, state, and local public health officials and departments nationwide to support and extend their public communications efforts. PHCCs products include webinars and, via its website, messaging guidance, answers to tough questions, misinformation alerts, and downloadable/shareable social graphics. Topics include vaccine safety and effectiveness, Mpox, H5N1 Bird Flu, countering misinformation, rebuilding trust in the public health system, developing culturally appropriate messaging, and protecting the publics health from climate-related health risks like poor air quality. In 2024, PHCC launched the PHCC Academy, offering no-cost training courses for health communicators.Through TFAHs ongoing partnership with The John A. Hartford Foundation, TFAH continued to lead the Age-Friendly Public Health Systems (AFPHS) movement to elevate healthy aging as a core function at state and local health departments. In 2024, TFAH partnered with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials, the National Association of County and City Health Officials, and the National Network of Public Health Institutes to develop a comprehensive, capacity-building resource for age-friendly public health. This resource, the AFPHS 6Cs Training and Implementation Guide, was piloted by 10 public health institutes participating in the initiative. TFAH also hosted and facilitated a national Age-Friendly Ecosystem Workshop to examine best practices that promote healthy aging across all levels, identify shared priorities among multiple sectors aimed at achieving better health outcomes for older adults, and develop strategies for deeper, multi-sectoral collaboration. 4705005 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 22 0 true 29 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AR CA FL GA HI IL KS KY MA MD ME MI MN MS NC ND NH NJ NM NY OR PA RI SC TN VA WI WV X X Stacy Molander 2022239870 1730 M STREET NW STE 900 WASHINGTON DC 20036 J Nadine Gracia MD MSCE President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X 344118 0 28330 Stacy Molander COO 40.00 0.00 X 229938 0 43662 RHEA FARBERMAN Dir Strategic Comm 40.00 0.00 218613 0 49046 TEKISHA D EVERETTE PhD EXECUTIVE VP 40.00 0.00 X 236281 0 25334 DARA LIEBERMAN DIR OF GOVT REL 40.00 0.00 162608 0 44466 Breanca Merritt PhD DIRECTOR OF POLICY 40.00 0.00 146638 0 7329 Megan Wolfe SN POL DEV MNGR 40.00 0.00 127762 0 23918 McKillop Matthew SR ANALYST 40.00 0.00 120363 0 30960 Stephanie Mayfield Gibson MD Chairman 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Lakey MD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ROBERT T HARRIS MD Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EDUARDO SANCHEZ MD MPH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CYNTHIA M HARRISPhD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DAVID FLEMING MD Vice Chair 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 OCTAVIO N MARTINEZ JR MD DPH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 THEODORE SPENCER MJ Secretary 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Douglas Bauer MS MJ Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Umair A Shah MD MPH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vincente Ventimiglia JD Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John A Rich MD MPH Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 1586321 253045 8 false true false Stott Development Solutions Group 4516 Wooddale Ave Edina MN 55424 fundraising consultant 165000 The George Washington University 44983 Knoll Square Bldg 2 2nd Fl Ashburn VA 20147 CONSULTING 110000 National Network of Public Health Institute 1100 Poydras Street Suite 950 New Orleans LA 70163 technical consultant 218241 Avoq PO Box 98390 Washington DC 20090 communication support 210706 4 3586352 3586352 Grantmakers In Health 541900 10000 10000 JHU CLIMATE CHANGE CONTR 541900 20390 20390 30390 750986 750986 0 0 0 238884 276935 -38051 -38051 -38051 0 0 0 0 4329677 30390 712935 0 0 0 0 907663 543399 241195 123069 0 2132516 1814497 267434 50585 99693 84074 13176 2443 146660 128123 15589 2948 219550 171690 35900 11960 0 21322 7089 14233 60500 60500 0 165000 165000 0 0 0 15492 11664 3015 813 33592 26269 5493 1830 0 282288 220751 46158 15379 118980 93043 19455 6482 0 101605 101605 0 0 55430 43346 9064 3020 19039 14889 3113 1037 CONSULTANTS 961634 937167 24467 COMMUNICATIONS 311479 311479 DUES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS 112790 101379 11411 Printing and Publications 70712 70712 30471 23829 4982 1660 5866416 4705005 763774 397637 324443 298741 12552494 9010587 2239871 2519158 15320 0 0 0 0 106343 88697 810990 676757 171442 134233 3505436 5382121 0 0 0 978129 758194 19878158 18207051 293929 280810 2500 2500 1141740 838231 1438169 1121541 X 14152306 13140774 4287683 3944736 18439989 17085510 19878158 18207051 -1536739 182260 X false true X true false X 9694561 539144 13891692 3554568 3586352 31266317 0 0 9694561 539144 13891692 3554568 3586352 31266317 18581849 12684468 90687 105708 244402 711712 750986 1903495 0 0 33169812 1560452 0.38240 0.42140 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false 11422 160823 172245 4532760 4705005 385250 96313 false 358808 356804 389789 385250 1490651 2235977 157521 166144 178558 172245 674468 89702 89201 97447 96313 372663 558995 8104 9378 9887 11422 38791 269033 194334 74699 409668 369450 40218 132289 112973 19316 134233 LEASE LIABILITY 838231 838231 4511938 182261 182261 4329677 4329677 5866416 5866416 5866416 X true STOTT DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIO 4516 WOODDALE AVE EDINA MN 55424 GRANT CONSULTING false 165000 165000 AL AR CA FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OR PA RI SC TN VA WV WI X true true X X X X false false false false false false false false false Breanca Merritt PhD DIRECTOR OF POLICY 146638 7329 153967 DARA LIEBERMAN DIR OF GOVT REL 162608 8949 35517 207074 J Nadine Gracia MD MSCE President & CEO 344118 17199 11131 372448 McKillop Matthew SR ANALYST 120363 6591 24369 151323 Megan Wolfe SN POL DEV MNGR 127762 6350 17568 151680 RHEA FARBERMAN Dir Strategic Comm 218613 11472 37574 267659 Stacy Molander COO 229938 11975 31687 273600 TEKISHA D EVERETTE PhD EXECUTIVE VP 236281 11966 13368 261615 Part I, Line 1a: Relevant information in regards to selections on 1a.
