Contact Congress about S. 1216: Taiwan Allies Fund Act

Countries that stand with Taiwan could get U.S. help if China pressures them. The aid could fund health, media, supply-chain, finance, and technology projects. Each country could receive up to $5 million per year.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Taiwan Allies Fund Act is a Senate bill waiting for floor action. The latest recorded action: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 321.

Latest action on S. 1216: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 321.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects countries that keep or strengthen ties with Taiwan while facing pressure from China. It also affects Taiwan, the State Department, USAID, the American Institute in Taiwan, and groups that could receive project funding in eligible countries.

Why this matters: Some countries may want ties with Taiwan but face economic or diplomatic pressure from China. This bill would give the United States a targeted way to help those countries keep those ties. It could also steer aid toward projects that reduce reliance on China in health, technology, finance, and supply chains. The real effect would depend on which countries receive help, which projects get funded, and how much Taiwan contributes.

Key provisions in S. 1216

  • The bill allows up to $40 million a year to support Taiwan’s global role. The money would come from the Countering PRC Influence Fund for fiscal years 2026 through 2028.
  • Only certain countries could get the money. They must keep official ties with Taiwan or clearly strengthen unofficial ties, face pressure from China because of those ties, and need U.S. help to respond.
  • No eligible country could receive more than $5 million in one fiscal year.
  • The money could fund several kinds of work. That includes health projects, stronger local groups and media, supply chains outside China, alternatives to Chinese development finance, support for Taiwan in international groups, and non-China communications technology.
  • The Secretary of State would run the program. The Secretary would consult USAID, the American Institute in Taiwan, and other federal agencies.
