The American Turkish Association of Washington, DC (ATA-DC), one of the oldest and respected Turkish American organizations in the U.S., has served the Turkish-American Community since 1965. ATA-DC’s mission is to promote Turkish culture in the U.S. and build friendship between Turkish and American people as we foster a stronger Turkish American community in the Washington DC metro area through educational, social and cultural activities.

On February 6th, a devastating earthquake hit 11 cities in Türkiye and Syria, causing the loss of more than 50,000 lives, injuring over 100,000, and displacing 1.5 million people. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragedy. Given the devastating aftermath of the disaster, ATA-DC Board immediately launched a fundraiser campaign with Turkish Philanthropy Funds Türkiye Earthquake Relief Fund to provide immediate and long-term recovery and rebuilding efforts for the affected communities.

We're committed to ensuring that 100% of the donations go directly to the victims and families in need. While we still identify the most pressing needs of the local communities, you can still donate and help us spread the word about this fundraiser campaign to reach our goal of $300,000.
