About Us
Who we are
Bridge to Türkiye Fund (BTF) was established in 2003 by a few like-minded Turkish-Americans and friends of Türkiye with the simple desire to give back. BTF is founded on citizen-based, democratic, and secular principles and encourages all to contribute to the welfare of less fortunate children and youth in Türkiye
