About Tennessee Federation for the Aging
The Tennessee Federation for the Aging, Inc. (TFA) was organized in 1968 and incorporated in 1969 to secure funding for senior citizens programs and services and to serve as an advocacy group for seniors. Over the years, TFA has coordinated with various local, district and statewide organizations to provider service provider training, senior educational workshops, and advocacy to align efforts to improve the overall quality of life for older Tennesseans.

TFA is a non-profit (501c3) charitable organization.

TFA membership consists of representatives from statewide agencies, government agencies, area agencies on aging and disability, senior centers, home health agencies, nutrition providers, adult day care providers, long-term care facilities, senior citizens, caregivers, and students.
