FAQ : Grantees

Which organizations can apply to TPF for a grant?

The selection process of the Turkish Philanthropy Funds is open to all nonprofit organizations, without political or religious affiliations, from all regions of Turkey.

How can I submit a proposal to TPF?

Currently, the vast majority of our funds are given through named funds with the recommendations of our donors and full-applications for non-discretionary funding are only accepted from organizations that have passed TPFs eligibility test.

Organizations can submit eligibility applications to TPF anytime. To apply, please submit your application here or send an email to eligibility@tpfund.org for more information.

What are the selection criteria?

A key quality of TPF is the flexibility that it offers to donors through component funds (e.g. donor-advised funds), which may make non-competitive grants to approved organizations identified by the donor. At the same time, TPF has the responsibility to re-grant any unrestricted funds in the most effective way and to educate its donors in effective and strategic philanthropy. TPF has 6 basic criteria that reflect the values and vision of the organization:

1.     Have the potential to expand beyond their current boundaries 

2.     Have a variety of funding sources and use our support as a leverage to obtain others

3.     Are financially reliable and accountable

4.     Are community-oriented

5.     Can create long-lasting change to social problems

6.     Empower people

What are the reporting requirements from the grantees?

Grantees are required to submit an interim report during the course of a project and a report of project accomplishments at the conclusion of the grant. The due date for the interim report will be listed on the grant agreement. The final performance report is due within ninety days after the end of the grant period. Interim performance reports serve as a measure of progress achieved on a project and help to identify problems regarding the program or the administration that need to be resolved. Final performance reports become a permanent record of project accomplishments. Read more on the formats of the reports on Our Grantmaking Policies.
