Turkey is the world’s 16^th largest economy. It is described as dynamic and a leader in the region. As its markets, entrepreneurs and businesses grow, the country is expected to be among the top 10 global economies by 2020. That would be great news if the country didn’t lag behind socially. To change that, TPF has identified four causes to focus our efforts in Turkey.

Arts &

Culture

Art nurtures as much as it engages, entertains and expresses. It is at the heart of every society, acting as both catalyst for change and a voice of the times. Supporting it is supporting community and, most importantly, the next generation.

Gender

Equality

Women and girls are a vital part of any community. TPF works to ensure that Turkish girls have access to every possibility that allows them to fulfill their potential.

Social & Economic

Development

Lifting communities out of poverty has been a centuries-old struggle that prophets, philosophers and politicians have tried to solve. Over the past several years, it has become apparent that the best way to advance lives is through empowerment.

Educational

Opportunities

Education creates opportunity. As Turkey grows economically, it is vital that its youth have the knowledge and skills necessary to lead that prosperity into the future. Since our founding, TPF has focused on ensuring that all Turkish youth have the opportunity to realize their potential.
