Taiwan Allies Fund Act

Grants for Taiwan partner countries

If enacted, the bill would create a Taiwan Allies Fund and authorize $10 million each year for FY2026, FY2027, and FY2028. The money would come from the Countering PRC Influence Fund and would remain available until expended. Only countries that meet three rules would be eligible: they must have official ties with Taiwan or be certified as having meaningfully strengthened unofficial ties; have faced coercion or pressure from the People’s Republic of China over those ties; and lack the economic or political capacity to respond without U.S. help. No single eligible country could receive more than $5 million in any one fiscal year. The funds would pay for projects tied directly to supporting Taiwan’s international engagement, such as health alternatives to PRC programs, media and civil society resilience, supply chain diversification, alternatives to PRC development financing, support for Taiwan’s diplomatic presence, ICT infrastructure alternatives, and countering PRC influence and propaganda. The Secretary of State would coordinate the program with other agencies, would be able to treat these amounts as foreign assistance and transfer or merge them with Foreign Assistance Act funds, should coordinate with Taiwan to avoid duplication and encourage Taiwan cost-sharing, and must report to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and House Foreign Affairs Committee within one year and annually for two years with per-activity funding, goals, success assessments, and any Taiwan contributions.
