Acting as a bridge between donors and Türkiye’s civil society
Turkey Mozaik Foundation creates positive social change by supporting civil society in Türkiye. As a group of optimists who believe in the power of collective action, we achieve this with a community of supporters in the UK who are passionate about making a difference.
Bringing together our diverse experiences to act as a supportive hub, we assist mainly grassroots civil society organisations that have the local know-how and insight needed for impact with a rights-based approach.
Through our themed grant programmes that cover both project and core funding, we prioritise intersectionality and systemic change by addressing the root causes of social issues.
Our 2024 Study Trip to Istanbul
On 26-27 July, we held our sixth Study Trip in Istanbul, we once again had the opportunity to hear from remarkable civil society experts who shared fresh perspectives and the latest updates from their fields. The lively discussions sparked many ideas and left us feeling inspired and motivated for what’s ahead. We thank all our speakers and participants for these two inspiring days. We hope you can join us next year!
What We Do
For Donors
What donors need is a platform to identify and select those in need through a transparent selection and reporting process – and we can help with that.
As community builders, we provide a trustworthy platform for individuals and groups who are passionate about making a difference by supporting meaningful initiatives in Türkiye.
Acting as a liaison, we connect donors with impactful civil society organisations (CSOs), offering a unique, well-designed, and all-inclusive donor experience.
By fostering a sense of unity and purpose, we empower the Turkish diaspora in the UK, facilitating connections and collaborations among like-minded individuals and organisations dedicated to driving social change.
Our tailored approach assists donors in aligning their support with specific causes. Through our main funding pool, donors can contribute to supporting a diverse range of CSOs, amplifying their collective impact.
Ensuring transparency and accountability, we consistently monitor grantees and provide routine comprehensive reports to donors.
Recognising the value of firsthand experiences, we organise Study Trips for UK individuals and organisations to engage with local change-makers and witness the impact of their contributions.
For Civil Society Organisations
Local civil society organisations (CSOs) in Türkiye often need funding and strategic support to expand their impact and reach. Turkey Mozaik Foundation actively supports these CSOs not only financially, but also by enhancing their capabilities and effectiveness.
We support CSOs in Türkiye with essential local knowledge and expertise, carefully choosing organisations capable of making meaningful, lasting changes within their communities. Please see our annual reports for our past grantees.
Our support goes beyond simple grant giving. Through our partnership with the Support Foundation for Civil Society, our grantees gain access to mentoring and capacity-building, tailored to their specific needs. This ensures that they not only receive financial support but also acquire skills to maximise impact.
