Impact Areas

OUR IMPACT AREAS

At Turkish Philanthropy Funds, we recognize that every donor is inspired by different causes. Our Areas of Impact highlight the pressing challenges facing communities today, from education and gender equality to disaster relief and the environment. Each of our Areas of Impact is paired with a dedicated Field of Interest Fund. These funds allow you to support the causes you care about most while benefiting from our trusted network and expertise on the ground. By giving through a Field of Interest Fund, your generosity is directed to where it can create the greatest impact within that issue area.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ANY AREA

For almost two decades, TPF has helped generous donors come together to support the causes they care about and create thriving, equitable communities.

Arts & Culture

Empowering Communities Through Arts

We see arts and culture not only as a way to celebrate heritage but also as a powerful catalyst for social connection, mental well-being, and community empowerment. Through our partnerships, we support initiatives that use creativity to heal, inspire, and bring people together—whether it's music fostering resilience after a disaster, theater sparking dialogue on social issues, or public art revitalizing shared spaces. By investing in the arts, we nurture both cultural expression and the human spirit.

Disaster Relief

From Crisis to Lasting Recovery

Our disaster relief efforts go beyond immediate response—we are committed to rebuilding lives and strengthening communities for the long term. As a trusted community foundation, we channel donor generosity to vetted local partners who understand the needs on the ground. From delivering urgent aid in the first hours to supporting mental health, education, and economic recovery in the months and years that follow, our goal is to transform crisis into opportunity for resilience, dignity, and hope.

Environment & Sustainability

Building Climate Resilient Futures

We believe a healthy environment is essential for thriving communities. Our work supports initiatives that protect natural resources, promote sustainable livelihoods, and build climate resilience in Türkiye and beyond. From restoring ecosystems and addressing pollution and deforestation to fostering environmental education and sustainable agriculture, we partner with local organizations to create solutions that balance human needs with the planet's well-being, ensuring a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.

Equality & Equity in Education

Strengthening Futures Through Education

At Turkish Philanthropy Funds, we believe education is the most powerful tool for unlocking opportunity and breaking cycles of inequality. Our commitment goes beyond access—we work to ensure that every student, regardless of gender, ability, or socio-economic background, has the resources, support, and opportunities to thrive. From scholarships for underrepresented students to programs that bridge the digital divide and train educators, we invest in initiatives that level the playing field and empower learners to reach their full potential.

Gender Equality

Breaking Barriers, Unlocking Potential

We champion gender equality as a cornerstone of thriving, inclusive communities. Our initiatives empower women and girls through education, economic opportunity, leadership development, and advocacy—breaking down barriers and challenging harmful norms. By partnering with organizations that drive systemic change, we work to ensure that every individual, regardless of gender, can participate fully, lead confidently, and shape a more equitable future.

Health Innovations

Expanding Access, Improving Lives

At Turkish Philanthropy Funds, we support pioneering health innovations that unlock access to quality care for all—leveraging digital tools, mobile clinics, and community partnerships to overcome healthcare gaps and empower underserved populations in Turkiye.
