We want to extend our most sincere gratitude to you one more time for your quick response to the devastating earthquake that struck Gaziantep and its neighboring cities. Since establishing the fund, which was created immediately in response to the earthquakes, TPF is working closely with organizations on the field to distribute funds and address urgent needs. 100% of donations to this fund will support TPF’s Turkiye Earthquake Relief Fund and recovery efforts.
At Turkish Philanthropy Funds (TPF), we see our role as filling the gaps between emergency relief and long-term development programs that can revive earthquake-hit areas and give new opportunities to the survivors in the impacted communities.
TPF has been working with vetted organizations on the ground in Turkiye, providing social services, helping communities cope with disasters, and educating the future generation since 2007. Our grant application is open to local TPF-approved partners in Turkiye, but other local organizations working in the region are also encouraged to apply. You can read more on our grant-making page here. Our selection criteria include implementation capability, efficiency, financial strength, and transparency.
Our grants go to vetted local NGOs
Recovery from an earthquake is a long and challenging process, and we are committed to doing everything we can to help those affected. Through our ongoing work with our partners on the ground, we are able to assess the needs of affected communities and respond with tailored solutions that are effective, efficient, and make a real difference.
Whether it is providing critical supplies and resources, offering support and counseling services, or helping to rebuild homes and infrastructure, we are working tirelessly to support the recovery efforts of those affected by this tragedy. While we are focused on immediate relief efforts, we are also mindful of the support needed for longer-term recovery efforts. We are constantly evaluating the needs with feedback from our partners on the ground and will determine how we can support longer-term recovery efforts in the coming days and weeks.
We are committed to transparency
To achieve transparency, we adhere to a strict set of guidelines and best practices, including clear and objective criteria for evaluating grant applications, open communication and feedback with grantees, and regular reporting on our impact and progress.
We also conduct rigorous due diligence and review processes to ensure that our grantees and partners meet our high standards for accountability, transparency, and effectiveness. We value the input and feedback of our grantees and partners and work collaboratively to ensure that our efforts are aligned and that we are making the greatest possible impact.
