TPFs mission is to help donors realize their philanthropic goals to meet community needs in the US and in Turkey. While making goals meet needs, TPF also supports innovative humanitarian projects that have the potential to create social change. We know that there is no single or simple answer to how social innovation occurs. We understand that social change is the result of a tremendously complex mix of ingredients: conditions (social, cultural, economic and environmental) and individual actors colliding to spark world-changing ideas. Therefore, to understand these conditions and to stimulate idea creation, we build relationships with everyone we collaborate with from grantees to strategic partners.
