What becomes possible when young people have access to the right learning opportunities? From exploring science and coding to building digital skills, technology education can help young people discover their potential and shape their futures.

Across Türkiye, local organizations are making these opportunities more accessible. At TPF, we believe in the power of locally driven solutions supported by strategic philanthropy to help young people grow, pursue their interests, and contribute to their communities.

Join us for our next Voices of Partners webinar featuring:

🎤 Sinan Alper, Bilim Akademisi (Science Academy)
🎤 Duygu Gençoğlu, YGA (Young Guru Academy)
🎤 Esra Köylüoğlu, Kodluyoruz (We Code)

We’re delighted to be joining the Independent Sector National Summit this week!

Together with Columbia University Global Center and Center for Disaster Philanthropy, we’ll be talking about what we’ve learned from very different partnerships and what those experiences can teach us about building stronger ones. From understanding what each partner brings to the table to making roles clearer and reducing duplicated work, we’ll share some of the questions we’ve been asking ourselves along the way.

See you there!

Different Ways to Give. Different Paths to Pursue. More opportunities.

At TPF, scholarships are as diverse as the donors who create them and the students they support.

Donors can establish scholarship funds that honor a legacy, support a particular field of study, or expand opportunities for specific student communities.

The result? Scholarship opportunities across different disciplines, from engineering and medicine to economics and journalism, supporting students from undergraduate studies through PhDs.

And a new scholarship application cycle is about to begin!

Join our upcoming webinar to explore available scholarships, learn about eligibility and the application process, and get your questions answered.

For Nesrin, it’s the opportunity to become a doctor. But access to that opportunity isn’t equal—in some parts of Türkiye, only 16% of girls are enrolled in middle school.

Your support to TPF and our partners working to advance educational equality and create more possibilities through education can make a difference.

“How does a disaster fund leave responsibly?”

Since the February 2023 earthquakes in Türkiye, TPF’s Earthquake Fund has moved through several distinct stages—from immediate relief to recovery, from recovery to resilience, and now toward sustainability.

In our latest opinion piece, we explore why responsible exit planning should begin long before a disaster fund closes, and what it means to support a thoughtful transition as communities move from recovery toward longer-term resilience.

Because exit is not separate from disaster response; it is part of responsible disaster response.

For Gamze Ateş, empowering women has always been the mission.

Her journey into philanthropy grew from that same commitment, extending her work to support the next generation and create educational opportunities for their children.

We’re proud to have Gamze as part of our community and to share her inspiring story of creating opportunities for women and girls.

Every donor journey is unique and personal, and all of them have a place at TPF.

It is 10:02 p.m. on a Thursday in Hatay. The day has been long. Tomorrow will come quickly. And yet, the lights are still on in one corner of the city.

Inside the Teacher’s Support Hub, voices overlap—quiet laughter, thoughtful pauses, shared stories. People arrive from the city center and surrounding villages, carrying the weight of their days and the lives behind them.

This is a place to pause. To reconnect. To begin again.

The Teacher’s Support Hub opened in Hatay two years ago at a time when something deeper than professional development was needed: connection, purpose, hope.

Thanks to you and your support of the TPF Türkiye Earthquake Fund, the Hub continues to be a place where teachers can find not just programs, but community.

Because when people are supported, they carry that strength forward—far beyond these walls, long after the lights go out at 10:02 p.m.

Your support keeps the lights on. Together, we continue creating spaces where people heal, reconnect, and build what comes next.

Arts and culture have the power to strengthen connection, belonging, and community. Creative expression can help young people find their voice, connect with their heritage, and create opportunities to participate and feel seen and heard.

Across Türkiye, organizations are using art, culture, creativity, and participation in different ways—from supporting emerging artists and making cultural heritage more accessible to creating opportunities for young people to shape their communities.

At TPF, we believe in the power of locally driven work supported by strategic philanthropy. These efforts show what’s possible when creativity, participation, and community come together.

Join us for our Voices of Partners webinar featuring:

🎤 Gizem Kıygı, City Detectives
🎤 Serkan Şahin, EMART
🎤 Burçin İnan Özel, KADD

Together, we’ll explore how creative expression can build belonging, deepen engagement with cultural heritage, and create new opportunities for participation—and what philanthropy can do to help these ideas and organizations grow.

We’ll be hosting a live Q&A—bring your questions!
