As we approach the end of 2025, all of us at Turkish Philanthropy Funds want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your partnership this year. Because of donors like you, students have found opportunity, families have rebuilt their lives, and communities across Türkiye and beyond have felt the strength of collective generosity.
This year brought extraordinary moments of hope. Students like Sıla, now beginning her PhD at Yale, stepped into futures once unimaginable. Earthquake survivors gained access to mental-health support, educational programs, and safe spaces for healing. Teachers, youth, and women’s groups continued to strengthen their communities — thanks to your belief in what is possible.
As the year comes to a close, we invite you to help carry this momentum into 2026. Your support enables TPF to empower underserved communities, strengthen nonprofit capacity, expand programs in youth and women’s empowerment, and invest in long-term philanthropic infrastructure that will serve generations to come.
Open doors for talented students to study, grow, and become the next generation of changemakers. TPF Changemakers are now studying at top universities nationwide, including Stanford, Columbia, Boston University, and Cooper Union!
Many donors are exploring ways to maximize the impact of their year-end giving. Options such as appreciated stock transfers, IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, or increasing your giving in a higher tax bracket year may offer tax-smart ways while supporting programs you care deeply about.
If you are seeking a more structured approach — or are unsure where to give right now — a TPF Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) allows you to secure a 2025 tax deduction while maintaining the flexibility to support causes in Türkiye, the U.S., and beyond throughout the year. We would be delighted to help you design a fund that reflects your long-term philanthropic vision. Connect Pinar Ozyurek, TPF’s Director of Philanthropy to get started at [email protected]
Year-end contributions made directly to TPF will be matched 1:1, extending the reach of your generosity across our programs and partners.
If you are unsure which option best aligns with your priorities, our team is here to support you. Together, we can ensure your giving is meaningful, strategic, and aligned with your values. And, because TPF is committed to transparency, you will always see how your philanthropy is used and the lives it touches.
With potential changes ahead in tax and giving regulations (read our review here), there has never been a more meaningful time to give.
If you would like to explore your giving options or begin a conversation about structuring your philanthropy through TPF, we would be honored to connect with you.
Thank you for trusting TPF as your partner in creating meaningful, lasting impact.
Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season and a New Year filled with hope, opportunity, and positive change.
