The Taxpayers Protection Alliance (TPA) is a Washington, D.C.-based fiscal advocacy organization that researches and publicizes government spending, taxation, and regulation. TPA produces reports, commentary, and media campaigns aimed at identifying what it characterizes as waste, fraud, and excessive government intervention, and advocates for smaller, more accountable government and market-oriented policy solutions.
Typically pursues fiscal restraint and budgetary oversight, lower taxes, reduced federal and state spending, greater government transparency and accountability, opposition to industry subsidies and select regulatory expansions, and market-oriented positions on telecom, postal reform, healthcare, and technology policy.
Primarily funded by donations and grants from individuals, foundations, and allied advocacy or industry sources; maintains a separate 501(c)(3) foundation for tax-deductible contributions and reports revenue and contributors on public tax filings.
