GROWING IMPACT TOGETHER
At Turkish Philanthropy Funds, we believe that lasting change begins with strong local partners. That’s why we collaborate with trusted NGOs across Türkiye who are driving solutions in education, disaster recovery, gender equality, economic development, and beyond.
As a TPF partner, you gain more than funding. You join a network that connects you to donors, foundations, and corporations in the U.S. and around the world. Together, we amplify your impact, strengthen your capacity, and ensure your work reaches the communities that need it most.
We welcome NGOs that share our commitment to transparency, accountability, and measurable results. If your organization is ready to grow its impact and build bridges with an engaged global community, we’d love to explore how we can work together.
Vetting and Eligibility
At Turkish Philanthropy Funds, transparency and accountability are at the heart of our work. To ensure that every donation makes a meaningful and lasting impact, we carefully vet each NGO before partnering.
WHY PARTNER WITH TPF?
WE AMPLIFY EVERY DONATION
Turkish Philanthropy Funds is a nonprofit. Our partnership program is free to join, and we don’t charge an application or subscription fee. Instead, we retain a 5% nonprofit support fee on donations, plus transaction processing fees. But we’re committed to raising even more money for your organization than we retain in fees.

PARTNER FAQS
1Who can become a TPF partner?
Any nonprofit (Vakıf, Dernek, Kooperatif or Spor Kulübü) registered and operating in Türkiye that is non-political, non-religious, and committed to transparency, accountability, and measurable impact.
2What is the vetting process?
Our vetting includes a review of your organization’s legal registration, financial health, governance practices, and program impact. This ensures donors can give with confidence and know their contributions create real change.
3How long does the application process take?
Once all required documents are submitted, reviews are typically completed within 2–4 weeks.
4Do we need to reapply every year?
No. Once approved, you remain part of TPF’s partner network. However, partners must resubmit updated information annually, such as financial statements and governance documents to remain in good standing.
5What funding opportunities are available for partners?
Partners can benefit from multiple funding streams:
• Fundraising Pages: Host your own page on TPF’s platform and receive tax-deductible donations directly from U.S. donors.

We provide learning opportunities (webinars, gatherings, curated resources), site visits to strengthen collaboration, visibility among global donors, and access to a network of NGOs and philanthropic partners.
9Who should we contact with questions?

10What kind of reporting is expected from partners?
TPF requires partners to submit narrative and financial reports for each funded project, outlining activities, outcomes, and lessons learned. This ensures accountability to our donors and allows us to showcase your impact. Reporting requirements are designed to be clear and proportional to the size and scope of the grant, and we provide guidance and templates to support you.
11Can non-partner organizations receive funding from TPF?
No. Only vetted partner organizations are eligible to receive funding from TPF. This ensures that every grant meets compliance standards and that donor contributions are directed to transparent, accountable, and mission-driven NGOs.
However, in certain cases—particularly during emergencies—non-partner organizations may apply for support while beginning the partnership process simultaneously. We clearly state if this is an option in the application form. This allows us to respond quickly to urgent needs while maintaining the high standards of accountability required for long-term partnership.
12What kind of visibility or promotional support does TPF offer to its partners?
Partners benefit from increased visibility among TPF’s global donor network. We highlight partners through:
• Fundraising pages on our platform where donors can give directly.
• Features in newsletters and social media, sharing your stories with a wider audience.
• Events and campaigns where your work may be spotlighted to inspire support.
Our goal is to amplify your mission, connect you with new supporters, and showcase your impact to a global community.
