TPF FOUNDERS SOCIETY: WHERE VISION MEETS IMPACT

Turkish Philanthropy Funds’ Founders Society is a circle of visionary leaders whose belief in the power of community and generosity laid the very foundation upon which TPF stands today. Their early and sustained investments—each a commitment of $50,000 or more—have made it possible for TPF to grow into a trusted platform for strategic giving.

These founding donors do more than fund programs. They shape possibilities, they inspire others to give boldly, and they ensure that we can continue addressing the most pressing challenges facing our communities in Türkiye, the U.S., and beyond.

We are deeply grateful to each member of the Founders Society for their generosity, trust, and partnership. Their support is not only sustaining our mission—it is powering a legacy of impact.

With heartfelt appreciation, we thank the following members of our Founders Society.
