Whistleblowers often feel alone, but they are not. Many organizations are dedicated to helping those who report fraud and provide information about whistleblower laws, whistleblower retaliation, whistleblower legislation, and other issues important to whistleblowers.
The most prominent coalition committed to helping whistleblowers fight fraud is The Anti-Fraud Coalition (TAF Coalition). This nonprofit organization brings together whistleblowers, attorneys, government agencies, and advocacy groups to strengthen fraud enforcement and protect those who expose fraudulent conduct. Goldberg Kohn is proud to support TAF Coalition and to have attorneys on our team who are committed members of this organization. Learn more about TAF Coalition and the fight against fraud.
What Is The Anti-Fraud Coalition?
TAF Coalition, formerly known as Taxpayers Against Fraud Education Fund, is a nonprofit organization committed to protecting and empowering whistleblowers who reveal fraud against the government and the financial markets. The organization's purpose is to prevent, detect, and address fraud through education, advocacy, and support for the whistleblower community.
The coalition has more than 400 members today, including law firms that work on whistleblower cases who represent individuals under the False Claims Act and other whistleblower programs. The coalition also comprises government agencies involved in fraud prevention and investigation at the federal and state levels and nonprofit organizations focused on protecting whistleblower rights and strengthening anti-fraud legislation. This structure enables members to share information, advocate for whistleblower rights, and coordinate efforts to hold fraudsters accountable while helping protect those who report wrongdoing.
Why Engage With TAF Coalition as a Whistleblower?
If you have evidence of fraud against the government, you can benefit from the resources TAF Coalition provides:
- Increased awareness of your rights: TAF Coalition maintains educational materials about federal and state whistleblower protection laws. The False Claims Act includes provisions designed to address retaliation against whistleblowers. The organization's resources explain these protections and related provisions in other whistleblower programs administered by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and Internal Revenue Service.
- Access to legal support: Through its attorney directory, TAF Coalition helps connect individuals with attorneys who focus on representing whistleblowers in False Claims Act matters, securities fraud cases, tax fraud cases, and other fraud-related litigation.
- Enhanced case strategy: TAF Coalition's annual conference brings together hundreds of fraud-fighting professionals to discuss emerging issues, legal developments, and strategies in whistleblower cases. The knowledge shared at these conferences can strengthen the representation whistleblowers receive.
Who Benefits From Whistleblowers Engaging With TAF Coalition?
The collaborative approach to fighting fraud creates value for multiple stakeholders:
- Law firms: Attorneys who work on whistleblower cases gain access to the latest legal developments, case law updates, practice resources, and professional networks through TAF Coalition membership.
- Government agencies: Federal and state entities involved in fraud prevention and investigation receive crucial information and evidence about fraud schemes through whistleblower cases. The Department of Justice reports that the False Claims Act remains one of the government's most effective tools for combating fraud, with over $6.8 billion recovered in fiscal year 2025 alone. Whistleblowers provided the evidence that enabled investigation and prosecution in cases accounting for $5.3 billion of that total.
- The public: Individuals benefit from recovery of funds for Medicare, Medicaid, defense programs, and other government services. According to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Medicare program integrity efforts returned $22.30 for every dollar invested in fiscal year 2025. The public also benefits from the deterrent effect these cases have on future fraudulent conduct.
