Employer Giving Campaigns

This fall, please consider giving through Turkish Philanthropy Funds to your favorite causes in Turkey through your employer giving campaign.

TPF will be participating in numerous corporate campaigns (see list of all participating corporations) and in four Combined Federal Campaigns (CFC) this fall:

- New York City CFC

- Northern New Jersey CFC

- Long Island CFC

- Taconic Valley CFC

If you work in one of the participating corporations, simply fill in "Turkish Philanthropy Funds" on the campaign donation pledge form. Many employers will match your contribution by giving the same amount, or in some cases, more. You may qualify if you are an employee, retiree or board member of a company that has a matching gift program. Such programs are an excellent way to leverage your donations. Your donated dollar can instantly become two, even six!

If you are a federal government employee, a U.S. postal worker or a member of the U.S. military, you can easily find our organization listing in your charity campaign directory. Our CFC number is 36506.

If you have any questions about the process or Turkish Philanthropy Funds, please contact us at info@tpfund.org or 646.530.8988.
