The Texas EMS, Trauma & Acute Care Foundation (TETAF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. TETAF supports the development of the state health care system by providing verification surveys for trauma, stroke, neonatal, and maternal care facilities throughout the state, plus advocacy and education.

Established in 2024 in recognition of 35 years of the Texas Trauma System, the TETAF Rural Trauma System Fund focuses specifically on supporting rural trauma caregivers in Texas. In early 2026, TETAF awarded a limited number of scholarships to reimburse rural trauma facilities for necessary education to meet trauma designation requirements.
