“FOUNDATION AND FAMILY” PANEL

5/27/2025

As part of the Foundation Week events, the “Foundation and Family” panel was held at the Vakıf Ankara Congress Center. The panel was attended by relevant foundation presidents, bureaucrats, and academics.

In the panel, which took place in two separate sessions, our Director General, Mr. Sinan Aksu, emphasized that foundations and the family each hold distinct importance for society. He stated that through the foundations established by our Ottoman ancestors, both the family and society were supported—and that these entrusted legacies continue today through the efforts of the Directorate General of Foundations.

"As for the issues related to the foundations, it is known that foundations constitute an important asset of our country. I hope that all members of Council of Ministers together with the Ministry Of Religious Affairs and even the Supreme Assembly examine this issue with great care and that this great institution is protected from devastation and made useful for our country in order to ensure that our country can benefit from this asset as necessary."
