Turkish Philanthropic Fund (TPF) helps donors realize their philanthropic goals to meet community needs in the US and in Turkey. TPF is the first diaspora organization of the Turkish-American community in the US that employs the community foundation model and aims to increase philanthropy among the Turkish-American community in general. TPF model allows all individuals, those of substantial and modest means alike, can participate in giving back to their community.

As the number of the Turkish-American community growing in the community, the community has reached a critical mass where it can start to make a difference. There is a great interest in the community to give back to Turkey to credible and transparent civil society organizations. As TPF, we would not only like to provide a tax-deductible vehicle for contributions to organizations in Turkey but also introduce high-impact organizations to the Turkish community in the United States.

TPF is a donor centric organization in the sense that donors give “through” rather than giving to TPF. Therefore, we center all of our giving to respond to donors' interests and commitments. Donors have a chance to give to an issue area of their choice and learn if their funds were spent for the intended purposes.
