Our partnership with the Conservation Collective for the Turquoise Coast Environment Fund

In celebration of Earth Day, we are thrilled to announce an exciting and impactful partnership we forged in 2022 for restoring and protecting nature.

Environmental sustainability is one of the core tenets of Turkey Mozaik Foundation and we have supported civil society organisations working in this field since our inception in 2017.

In 2021, we launched the Environmental Sustainability Fund, in partnership with the Support Foundation for Civil Society (Sivil Toplum için Destek Vakfı) and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The fund supported the digital transformation of five civil society organisations working in the field of environmental sustainability with grant and capacity-building support.

In 2022, we partnered with the Conservation Collective to launch the Turquoise Coast Environment Fund (TCEF). This fund, in partnership with the MAVA Foundation, the GEF Small Grants Program, and the UNDP, supports projects focusing on protecting Türkiye’s marine biodiversity and coastal environment. In TCEF’s first round, we are pleased to announce today that a total of TRY 2,098,346 (GBP 103,315) was granted to 13 civil society organisations.

TCEF was launched to protect, restore, and regenerate the natural beauty, biodiversity and ecosystems of the exceptional marine and coastal resources of Türkiye. TCEF aims to aid local communities become actively involved in, and part of, the change towards sustainable food systems, biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, and building local organisations for the sustainable future of the coastlines.

Biodiversity and ecosystem loss are one of the greatest climate challenges ahead, not only for Türkiye but also for our entire planet and we are delighted to be playing our part in protection, restoration, and regeneration efforts.

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.
