Turkiye Earthquake Relief Efforts

Dear TPF Donors,

Eight months have passed since the devastating earthquakes shook Southeast Türkiye. As we pause to reflect on the journey, we want to acknowledge the vast strides we have made together in healing, rebuilding, and planning for a resilient future. 

The initial phase of our response, fueled by the generous support we received from our community in the US and globally, enabled us to provide immediate aid and grant $9.4M to 65+ TPF-Vetted Partner Organizations, directly impacting over 1.7 million people in need in the first six month of the disasters. And, for that, we remain immensely grateful to our community. Our swift action demonstrated the power of unity and the strength of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity.

Our progress gives us hope. Yet, we acknowledge the journey ahead is long, and our commitment to these communities must remain unwavering. The path to true recovery goes beyond immediate relief and calls for long-term solutions that encourage resilience and growth.

In recognition of this, our long-term strategy will prioritize addressing the profound psychosocial needs, stimulating economic development, prioritizing both traditional and life skills in education, and supporting children with disabilities.

In our 6th Month Impact Report, you will find details of our work over the past six months, including a comprehensive breakdown of fund utilization and future plans.

We trust this report will offer insight into the depth and breadth of our initiatives and our shared commitment to helping these communities rise again.

Thank you for standing with us, your trust in TPF, and your continued support as we walk this journey toward recovery and resilience.

With gratitude,

Team TPF

Dear TPF Donors,

Three months ago, our community faced an unimaginable challenge when two devastating earthquakes shook the core of our homes, lives, and spirits. In the midst of the turmoil, we uncovered the true resilience of our community. Though the scars of the earthquake are still visible, the spirit of hope and unity shines even brighter as our community continues to show us that we rise and stand together even in the darkest times. 

In the aftermath of the disaster, our community's inspiring response has allowed us to distribute over $7.5 million in grants to more than 50 vetted organizations, reaching over 1.5 million people in need. We are very grateful for your support. THANK YOU!

We have made significant strides in addressing urgent necessities and rebuilding our community. Our actions have been guided by these core objectives: supporting local organizations, implementing an equity lens in all grant decisions, enhancing the capacity of our partners, offering flexible funding, fostering partnerships, and prioritizing accountability and reporting.

As we mark the third-month anniversary of the earthquakes, we want to acknowledge our progress and the unbreakable bonds we've formed by sharing our 3rd Month Impact Report.  

And, as we focus on long-term recovery, we're dedicated to restoring normalcy and revitalizing everyday life in the affected areas. The road to recovery is long, but our determination and unity will carry us through, and together we will continue to heal, rebuild, and emerge stronger. Thank you for supporting us in these difficult times and thank you for being a part of this impact.

With gratitude,

Team TPF
