Project-based donations differ from the support provided to young people by the Yücel Cultural Foundation in that they are donations provided by donors for projects focused on a specific topic. The entire donation (100%) is used for the relevant project.
There is no minimum limit for project-based donations. Donors can support the projects they are interested in with any amount they wish. Project-based donations can be made in Turkish lira.
What is the Bozcaada International Festival of Ecological Documentary (BIFED)?
The Bozcaada International Festival of Ecological Documentary (BIFED) is an event held annually in Bozcaada, one of Turkey's popular tourist locations. The festival is an international platform showcasing various documentaries from around the world and Turkey, aiming to raise environmental awareness and ecological consciousness. BIFED provides an important opportunity to highlight environmental issues, promote eco-friendly living practices, and inspire audiences.
During the festival, directors, producers, environmental activists, and viewers come together to discuss films, participate in workshops, and attend seminars. Additionally, various events are organized to explore the natural beauty of Bozcaada and engage with the local community. BIFED offers an educational and enjoyable experience for ecological documentary enthusiasts.
What Will We Do Together?
As the Yücel Cultural Foundation, we are joining forces with the Bozcaada International Festival of Ecological Documentary (BIFED)! This special collaboration at the intersection of ecology and culture carries the mission of both protecting nature and bringing the power of art to the community.
We will support the festival team in announcing events, screenings, workshops, and launches meticulously selected by BIFED, and provide free venue sponsorship for BIFED events at our exhibition center in Sultanahmet, known for its historical and cultural richness. Thus, events combining art, ecology, and documentary cinema will come to life not only in Bozcaada, a small northern Aegean island known for its unique inward lifestyle and clean sea, but also in the heart of Istanbul.
We will collaborate on fundraising initiatives, developing joint projects that align with BIFED's innovative vision, and presenting these projects on national and international platforms. We will meticulously manage the processes to ensure the success of accepted projects, coordinating all stages from activity plans to implementation.
Additionally, young talents recommended by BIFED will be our guests and will benefit from our special personal development programs for young people free of charge.
