The Kara Family Foundation directs a very focused, small-scale philanthropic effort toward international refugee relief, specifically supporting refugee assistance in Turkey. Their giving is highly concentrated — both documented grants went to the same organization — indicating a targeted relationship with a single implementing partner rather than broad or diversified grantmaking. The foundation appears to prioritize direct humanitarian impact overseas, likely via trusted NGOs working on-the-ground with refugees.
Highly concentrated and small-scale: two grants totaling $26,927, both to the same grantee (repeat funding), indicating focused support for a single partner rather than distributed or broad-based giving.
