Humanitarian Grants

TCA has awarded grants for humanitarian relief purposes to organizations to help alleviate suffering and to deepen friendship, understanding and cooperation between the Turkish American community and other heritage communities in the United States.

Mexican Red Cross Grant

Mexico was hit with one of its worst national disasters in November 2007 when the state of Tabasco was hit by a hurricane, causing massive flooding and the destruction of tens of thousands of homes, schools, as well as the state's crops. TCA donated two fully equipped ambulances, worth $ 200,000, to the Mexican Red Cross to be used in the southeastern Mexican state of Tabasco.

Chaldean Federation Grant

In an effort to alleviate the suffering of thousands of Iraq's war torn and displaced Chaldean refugees in Turkey, in 2009 TCA pledged a $ 100,000 humanitarian grant to the Chaldean Federation of America (CFA). Under this humanitarian program, administered jointly with the Istanbul-based Turkish Chaldean-Assyrian-Syriac Humanitarian Organization (KASDER), humanitarian aid, particularly food and medicine, is provided to Christian refugees from Iraq who live in Turkey.

Haiti Earthquake Relief Grant

In August 2010, TCA donated $50,000 to Haiti relief efforts to be distributed by Cross International, a charity located in Pompano Beach, and Operation Helping Hands, a charitable partnership between the United Way of Miami-Dade and The Miami Herald / el Nuevo Herald. The funds will be used to support rebuilding of schools and other infrastructure. Another $ 50,000 was donated to Operation Helping Hands in February 2011.
