Enabling Resilience: Our 2023/24 Institutional Fund Recipients

In the 2023/24 period, our Institutional Fund is dedicated to helping those affected by the Kahramanmaras earthquakes. We aim to support the well-being of the region and strengthen the organisational capacities of civil society organisations (CSOs) actively operating in or supporting the earthquake-affected regions.

Our Institutional Fund, in collaboration with our local partner the Support Foundation for Civil Society (Sivil Toplum için Destek Vakfı), aims to build the core capacity of CSOs, covering essential costs, and providing capacity-building support. The calls for proposals were shared by the Support Foundation for Civil Society and received 115 applications from 25 cities across Türkiye. This year, jointly with other contributors, a total of TRY 6,271,631 is allocated to the following seven civil society organisations:

Ali Ismail Korkmaz Foundation (Ali İsmail Korkmaz Vakfı – ALİKEV) is working to help young people become unbiased, conflict-free, equitable, and social individuals by participating in social activities. With the grant support of TRY 999,431, ALİKEV will work to increase its resource diversity to ensure its financial sustainability. The grant support will be used to employ a full-time Resource Development Officer and cover the association’s administrative expenses.
Solidarity People Association (Dayanışma İnsanları Derneği), based in Adıyaman, works to promote the participation of young people and vulnerable groups in development and the creation of a resilient civil society, particularly in the face of disasters. With the grant support of TRY 790,000, the Solidarity People Association will work on preparing policy documents, establishing an organisational chart, and implementing a monitoring and evaluation system. The grant support will be used to employ a full-time General Coordinator and a part-time Youth Worker, in addition to covering administrative costs.
Hatay Symphony Orchestra Culture and Art Association (Hatay Senfoni Orkestrası Kültür ve Sanat Derneği – HSO) is dedicated to transforming the culture and art scene in Hatay and its surroundings through concerts, projects, and educational workshops. With the grant support of TRY 999,000, HSO will work to diversify its resources and ensure financial sustainability. To achieve this goal, HSO will use the grant support to hire two full-time employees and cover administrative costs.
Collective Coordination Association (Kolektif Koordinasyon Derneği – KKD), based in Adana, focuses on developing sustainable solutions to increase the resilience and well-being of communities affected by disasters. With the grant support of TRY 986,000, KKD will carry out activities to enhance its resource diversity and financial sustainability. The grant support will be used to employ a full-time General Coordinator, and a Communication Officer, and cover administrative expenses.
We Need to Talk Association (Konuşmamız Gerek Derneği) is working to increase the accessibility, quality and sustainability of period products in Türkiye, and raise awareness about period poverty and menstruation stigma. With the grant support of 1,000,000, the association will work to establish partnerships, strengthen volunteer networks, develop a volunteering strategy, and open an office in Adana for collaboration with local CSOs. The association will hire two full-time employees and cover administrative expenses.
Medical Search and Rescue Association (Medikal Arama Kurtarma Derneği – MEDAK) supports medical personnel in providing active field services in disasters and humanitarian crises and equips them with the necessary training for emergencies. With the grant support of TRY 999,200, MEDAK will work to increase the diversity of its resources and ensure the financial sustainability of the association. The funding will be used to employ a full-time Finance Officer and cover administrative expenses.
Yeniden Antakya Platform Association (Yeniden Antakya Platformu Derneği – YAP) works to preserve and revitalise Hatay’s cultural, social, and economic structure. With the grant support of TRY 498,000, YAP will strengthen its project management capacity. The grant support will be used to hire two employees, receive accounting services, and cover the communication expenses related to these activities.

Our Institutional Fund focuses on strengthening and building the organisational core capacity of CSOs by covering costs such as rent, human resources, expert support, and travel. The Fund also provides capacity-building, including mentoring in resource development, financial sustainability, impact measurement, monitoring and evaluation, communications, stakeholder relations, and advocacy.

Other contributors to the Support Foundation for Civil Society’s Institutional Fund include the Bcause Foundation, Dalyan Foundation, Fondation de France, Karl Kahane Foundation, Kreuzberger Initiative gegen Antisemitismus (KIgA), and WNS (Holdings) Limited, who have joined forces to provide extensive support to the earthquake-affected areas.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Turkey Mozaik Foundation to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Turkey Mozaik Foundation we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Yes, I would like to claim Gift Aid

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Turkey Mozaik Foundation to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Turkey Mozaik Foundation will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Turkey Mozaik Foundation receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
