A Growing Legacy of Giving, Locally and Globally
What started in 2007 with a small circle of visionary donors has grown into a 100,000+ strong community, driven by a shared passion for giving back. Today, TPF is the leading Turkish-American community foundation, connecting donors and partners to create lasting, high-impact social investments.
TPF connects U.S. donors with impactful NGOs in Türkiye, US or globally, ensuring their philanthropy is effective and meaningful.
With local expertise, strong connections, and vetted partners, TPF ensures every dollar creates lasting impact where it’s needed most.
The devastating earthquakes of early 2023 tested our resolve, but they also showcased the incredible strength and solidarity of our global community. Through the continued grants from our earthquake fund, we have touched the lives of millions, providing critical support such as temporary housing, healthcare, women’s empowerment, environmental protection, psychosocial services, and educational opportunities. Our commitment to long-term recovery and resilience remains unwavering as we continue to provide targeted aid and develop sustainable solutions that uplift the affected regions.
Looking ahead, our long-term resilience efforts equipping individuals with skills that meet the evolving needs of the region, investing in sustainable economic development, and enhancing disaster preparedness through community-based initiatives.
By focusing on these strategic areas, we aim to build stronger, self-sufficient communities capable of thriving despite future challenges. Our approach is grounded in collaboration with local partners, leveraging their insights and expertise to ensure that every dollar spent has a meaningful, lasting impact on the path to recovery.
