Support Independent Turkish Cinema in Toronto

Your contribution helps us deliver the 2026 festival and keep screenings accessible to all. We are currently raising funds to secure venues and film licenses for our first edition.

Why donate now

We are currently fundraising for our guests' flight tickets, venues and screenings for the first Toronto Turkish Film Festival. Early support helps us secure the core elements.

Every contribution directly supports core costs that make the festival possible, such as:

  • Venue and screening operations

  • Guest participation support

  • Accessibility and audience experience

  • Community programming and outreach

The Toronto Turkish Film Festival is an independent, not-for-profit initiative. Donations are voluntary contributions and do not include promotional benefits, which are handled separately through sponsorships.

You’re not just donating, you’re protecting a cultural space.

A festival doesn’t happen in one big moment. It happens through hundreds of small decisions and costs. Your support helps us say “yes” to films and filmmakers that deserve to be seen.

We welcome any amount that feels right for you! Thank you for your support!

Interac e-Transfer: To ensure 100% of your contribution goes directly to our programming, we recommend donating via Interac e-Transfer to donations@torontoturkishff.ca. This method is the most cost-efficient way to give, as it avoids processing fees.
