  • We partner with tens of local nonprofits and have knowledge about local issues that we can discuss with our donors. We help make a difference by linking your clients to the causes they care about and educating them about the programs we believe will make an impact.

The Right Solution for your Client

By establishing a fund today, your client can support favorite charities, add to their funds, recommend grants at any time, and name their fund in their will.

TPF is a publicly-supported nonprofit and therefore offers your clients the maximum charitable tax deduction permitted by law. Gifts are deductible at the time they are made to TPF, and your client is then able to make grants at times and in amounts most advantageous to them and the charitable organizations they support. We accept cash, publicly-traded stock, retirement plan assets, life insurance, closely-held stock, and fractional or whole interests in real estate.

By creating a planned gift through TPF, your client can foster those things they love most in the community and preserve them for future generations and prioritize their goals for social impact while achieving the most favorable income tax benefits available.

We work with you, the planning professional or tax advisor, to determine the type of gift that is right for the client. Charitable trusts, will bequests, beneficiary designations on retirement assets, or life insurance proceeds can fulfill your client’s wishes for the future and can often be structured to allow your client to receive lifetime income.

 

For Attorneys & Financial Advisors 

Let Us Help You Help Your Clients 

During the estate planning process, clients often involve their lawyer or financial advisor to help them shape their charitable giving, but ultimately clients need to decide what causes are important to them, how they want to structure their giving, and whether they want to involve family members. It can be a sensitive and complicated process, but Turkish Philanthropy Funds is uniquely suited to help you and your clients successfully navigate it. 

Since 2007, we’ve been working with lawyers and financial advisors to help their clients with philanthropy. TPF is the right choice for thousands of generous Turkish-Americans because of our staff of experts, range of giving options, capacity to accept complicated assets, knowledge of community needs, and efficient management.

The IRS has classified us as “tax-exempt” under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; as a “publicly supported” organization under Section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi); “not a private foundation” under Section 509(a)(1). This status ensures donors the maximum tax benefit allowed by law.
