FAQ : Corporations

How can I get my company involved?

There are multiple ways to engage your company in the work of TPF. The following are a few suggestions:

1. Get TPF added to your company's list of approved non-profit organizations. This enables employees to select TPF as the designation for their charitable giving, and enables them to make matching corporate donations.
2. If your company has a corporate foundation, suggest TPF for corporate funding. We are always looking to expand and diversify our funding base, and we would welcome introductions to any corporate foundation that is interested in supporting our work.
3. You can start a corporate fundraiser within your corporation to support one of TPF's projects. These campaigns can center around holiday parties or perhaps a summer outing. Once the fundraising goal is reached, everyone who participated gets the satisfaction of seeing the final TPF report on the given project.
4. If your company has a good year financially,  you can start a "Named Fund" for your company and use your contributions to support NGOs in Turkey or in the US while getting tax-deduction for the current year you make the donation.
5. Or, you can ask your company to match your gift.

These are some of the more popular ways in which people choose to get their companies involved with TPF.
