Dear Friend,
As the global novel coronavirus outbreak continues to rapidly evolve and expand, it tests our collective strength. Millions are on lockdown and businesses are closing. Our communities both in the US and in Turkey are wondering what the long-term impact of the illness will be on their communities and their livelihoods. Paying rent and utilities, getting food, and finding basics are tougher than ever before. In response to the outbreak, Turkish Philanthropy Funds has launched the TPF COVID-19 Community Relief Fund to support containment, response, and recovery activities for those affected and for the responders.
Turkish Philanthropy Funds has worked with donors and partners on the ground to understand the effects of COVID-19 on communities and respond immediately. TPF's goal has been to support containment, response, and recovery activities for those affected and for the responders.
Until today, with the generous supports of our donors, 17 NGOs based in Turkey and in the US, have received grants in the amount of $230,184.88. These valuable donations are being used to support vulnerable communities as well as purchase protective supplies, among other needs. With our donors' gifts, we could provide necessary protective equipment for doctors and medical staff. Together, we could help children and their families have access to healthy food and hygiene kits. Children had laptops and access to the internet to be able to continue their education.
Once again, while thanking our donors for their support we would like to remind you that the pandemic is still affecting many people. We are committed to standing with our communities and supporting those impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Together, with your support, we will overcome this pandemic by making sure the most vulnerable among us are protected.
