The primary source of funding for the TFD is the government. However, it is independently incorporated, non-partisan, and non-profit. According to its By-laws, the Foundation may accept international and domestic donations. One fifth of its budget is reserved for Taiwan's political parties, supporting their own international and local initiatives that are in line with the mission of the TFD. The remaining budget is used for the TFD core activities, including:
- Building relationships with related institutions around the world.
- Participating actively in the global promotion of democracy and supporting the improvement of human rights conditions.
- Supporting democracy promotion activities of NGOs and academic institutions.
- Promoting research and publications on democratic developments at home and abroad.
- Organizing and sponsoring seminars, workshops, conferences, and other educational activities in the field of democracy and human rights.
