About the Organization

TPF is the first Turkish-American foundation to implement the community foundation model. The "imece (collective work)" method, which is one of the common traditions of Turkish culture, lies at the heart of this model, which enables many donors around the world to donate under the roof of a single foundation. TPF forms partnerships with organizations that meet some criteria determined by it, in order to establish communication between donors in America and civil society organizations in Turkey. Two criteria TPF takes into consideration are legal and financial competence and institutional efficiency (determined by American laws).

Priority Areas

Gender equality, education, disaster relief, social and economic development.
