Taiwan Allies Fund Act

Grants to help Taiwan partner countries

If enacted, this would create a Taiwan Allies Fund and authorize $10 million for each of fiscal years 2026, 2027, and 2028, drawn from the Countering People's Republic of China Influence Fund. The fund would make grants to countries that (1) have official relations with Taiwan or have meaningfully strengthened unofficial relations, (2) have faced PRC coercion or pressure over those relations, and (3) lack the capacity to respond without U.S. help. Grants would pay for activities directly tied to supporting Taiwan’s international space, such as alternatives to PRC health, digital, and energy programs; civil society and media capacity building; supply‑chain diversification; alternatives to PRC development finance; support for Taiwan’s diplomatic presence and participation in international fora; U.S. or allied ICT alternatives; and countering malign influence. No country could receive more than $5,000,000 in any fiscal year. The Secretary of State would coordinate with other agencies and the American Institute in Taiwan, seek Taiwan cost‑sharing when appropriate, allow the amounts to be treated and merged with foreign assistance accounts, keep the funds available until expended, and report to Congress within 1 year and annually for two more years on funded activities, funding amounts, goals, success assessments, and Taiwan’s contributions.
