Welcome - Hosgeldiniz

Bridge to Turkiye Fund (BTF) is a grassroots philanthropic bridge between the United States and Turkey, organized for charitable purposes to serve the socio-economically disadvantaged segments of Turkish Society. Established in 2003, BTF is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. BTF's tax identification number is 58-2678580.

We are grateful to have a generous donor community.  With your continued support, we are committed more than ever to providing lasting change for the under-served students of Turkiye.  We believe Education is the best investment one can make, and this Holiday Season with Yonca Kundupoglu as our lead, our campaign will highlight BTF's Micro-Scholarship Programs.

BTF was founded on the belief that ordinary people of modest means can do extraordinary things - especially when we do it together.  Chipping-In together, we can continue to leverage our individual investments to collectively change lives back home.  This is possible by deploying small amounts of money (Micro-Financed Funds) to the right people for the right purpose to achieve a positive impact.

As we Chip-In together for Education to raise these funds, we also ask that you spread the word and get your personal networks involved.  Please, invite your family and friends to help promote our efforts.  With both Fund and Friend Raising, we can have an even greater impact for the children of Turkiye...

This link to our slide presentation can help answer most of your questions on how Micro-Scholarships work and what we mean by them.
