TPF Grant-Making Strategies

 

Bookmark and Share

 

Funding from TPF is allocated year-round to nonprofits in two ways:

 

DONOR-ADVISED GRANTMAKING

Turkish Philanthropy Funds offers certain fund types including advised, designated and friends of the fund that allow donors to remain engaged in the grantmaking process by suggesting uses for their gift. Donors make grant recommendations for a grant to a specific organization or a project.  Once TPF staff have ensured the recipient organization is a 501c3 equivalent (for Turkey) or in good standing (for US), and that the organization is financially sound and has filed the necessary tax documents, the grant is issued from that particular donor's fund. Grants are monitored and evaluated based on TPF's grant management procedures.

 

COMPETITIVE GRANTMAKING

The goal of TPF's competitive grantmaking is to provide an opportunity for different non profit organizations to submit applications for a particular area (determined by TPF's issue areas- see below). Based on the evaluation and selection process, projects are selected and awarded support. Grants are monitored and evaluated based on TPF's grant management procedures.

Each competitive grantmaking cycle is a process in which the Foundation posts a 'Request for Proposals (RFP)' for nonprofits in Turkey. Proposals are evaluated by staff, grantmaking committee and final decisions are made by the Executive Board. Grants awarded in the competitive cycle must address at least one of the four issues described below. TPF may change this list by expanding or changing the scope of issues as additional needs arise based on circumstances in Turkey. 

 

Education

Gender Equality

Livelihoods

Arts&Culture
