Contribute to a Fund
You may choose to donate to a fund that has already been established by TPF. Here is a list:
"Friend Of" Funds
This fund is mainly for educational and charitable organizations in Turkey that aims to reach out to Americans of Turkish decent or Americans interested in investing in philanthropic projects in Turkey. They can be started by the organization or a group of donors interested in a particular organization (such as alumni for their school in Turkey). Our current 'Friend of' Funds are:
Emergency Fund
The Emergency Fund is established to be ready especially for disasters in Turkey. We like to have the necessary financial means in place when an emergency need arises. TPF partners with AKUT (Arama Kurtarma Dernegi) in Turkey to raise awareness and be ready for possible disasters.
Promoting Philanthropy Fund
The operating fund is essential for a young community foundation such as TPF, to manage start up operations and continue to strengthen the resources needed to grow assets and achieve its mission. This fund will eventually help to make a social change in Turkey by informing US communities about giving, creating new donors and generating new support for Turkey's myriad needs.
Agency Endowment Fund
A nonprofit organization places its endowment funds irrevocably with TPF for management and investment. The nonprofit organization may choose this type of fund to provide a relatively constant source of annual income, to obtain funds for current operations more easily and to increase investment yield. In addition, if the nonprofit organization ceases to exist, then TPF is responsible for finding an alternative organization with similar purposes. This fund aims to assist Turkish-American non-profits in the United States that do not have the necessary means to administer an endowment fund.
