Ways To Give
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO MAKE
A DIFFERENCE WITH TPF.
Whether you choose to give today to address urgent needs or plan for tomorrow through a lasting legacy, TPF offers flexible giving options to match your vision and values. You can support trusted organizations, invest in vital causes, or create your own fund or scholarship while giving in the way that works best for you. From cash, stocks, and real estate to donor-advised funds, bequests, and more, we make it simple to turn your generosity into impact.
I WANT TO...
Visionary leadership. Lasting 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.
Build a fund aligned to your goals.
Establishing a fund at TPF is an easy, effective way to invest in your community. Focus on specific issues, or organizations, or create a fund with a flexible purpose. We have many fund types for you to choose from, depending on your charitable goals and level of giving.
Collective giving, amplified results.
We believe in the power of collective giving. Whether you want to give with family, friends, or other like-minded donors, we have options for you to collectively spark change in your community. If you envision creating a better community and have like-minded individuals around you, then Giving Circles are your perfect starting point!
Direct your gift with confidence.
TPF works with a network of trusted nonprofit organizations in Türkiye, each carefully vetted to ensure transparency, accountability, and measurable results. By supporting a TPF Partner, you can direct your generosity to causes and communities you care about, with the confidence that your gift is making a real difference.
Support a cause—flexibly and strategically.
Sometimes your giving is inspired by a cause rather than a single organization. Our Field of Interest Funds give you the flexibility to support an issue you care about most, while relying on TPF’s expertise to direct your generosity where it will have the greatest impact.
Create a legacy that lasts.
Planned Giving means that you can continue to give to the causes you care about — forever. It allows you to make larger gifts by offering donors many giving instruments. Planned Giving may provide you with an immediate tax benefit, allowing you to bypass capital gains taxes and avoid taxes on your estate while having an immediate and lasting benefit for you and your family.
Giving today
You can make an immediate impact through options that fit your goals:
- Set up a Donor-Advised Fund to recommend grants anytime.
- Give to our Special Projects to address urgent challenges.
- Support a scholarship fund to invest in future leaders.
- Partner with TPF on special initiatives or disaster relief efforts.
Giving tomorrow
You can ensure your values live on for generations by:
- Including TPF in your will or trust.
- Naming TPF as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy.
- Creating a legacy scholarship or named fund in your name or honor of a loved one.

Cash
Give online, by check, or by wire transfer—whichever is most convenient for you.
Other retirement assets
Make TPF your beneficiary. Retirement plan assets left to heirs can be heavily taxed—redirecting them to TPF or our partners eliminates income tax. This results in the greatest benefit for both your loved ones and causes you care about.
Publicly traded securities
Donating appreciated stocks or other securities is a smart, impactful way to give. You may receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value while avoiding capital gains tax, allowing you to give more to the causes you care about through TPF.
Contributions from your IRA
If you're age 70½ or older, you can direct contributions from your IRA to a public charity through a charitable IRA rollover. This allows you to exclude the distribution from taxable income (instead of taking it in and claiming a deduction). While IRA rollovers can't be used for donor-advised funds, they can support all other giving options, including field-of-interest funds.
Real estate and other property
Certain property, such as art, real estate, or copyrights, can be donated to TPF under certain circumstances. Please contact us to discuss the details.
Life insurance
Name TPF or our partners as the beneficiary of your policy, or transfer ownership to TPF during your lifetime for a potential charitable deduction based on the policy's current value.
