Can I get a receipt for my donation?
Yes. When payment is complete the e-receipt is sent to your email address. You can verify the receipt number on the Receipt Lookup page.
Are my donations tax deductible?
Income and corporate tax payers may deduct donations from their tax base within the limits set by law. The donation must be made through a bank or payment institution and the e-receipt kept. The Tax Relief Calculator shows the estimated saving.
How much of my donation goes directly to programmes?
In 2025, 86.2% of donations were spent on programmes, 9.1% on management and 4.7% on fundraising. Details are on the Transparency and Audit page.
How can I stop regular giving?
You can stop the instruction or change the amount at any time by emailing info@isikevivakfi.org.tr or calling us.
Who can apply for a scholarship?
High school and university students whose monthly household income per person is below roughly 14,000 TRY, who are doing well and who do not receive a full scholarship elsewhere can apply. The pre-check quiz shows your starting score.
When are scholarship results announced?
Results are notified by email and SMS no later than six weeks after the application period closes.
What do I need to become a volunteer?
You need to be over 18 and attend a one-hour orientation. State your interests and availability on the volunteer form and our coordinator will call you.
Can I donate from abroad?
Yes. International cards can pay in Turkish lira, and your bank applies the exchange rate. For transfers from abroad, request our account details at info@isikevivakfi.org.tr.
What happens if the project I donated to exceeds its target?
The surplus is moved to a similar project and donors are informed by email. A donation is never moved to general expenses.
