Legal framework
Organizations authorised to collect donations may receive them through the platform
Foundations and associations meeting the permission conditions under Article 6 of Turkish Law No. 2860 on Aid Collection may receive donations through bursverenler.org. Public-benefit organizations that may collect aid without a permit are determined under the applicable framework; other organizations may run campaigns after obtaining the required permissions from authorised administrative bodies.
- Ensure that your donation-collection authority and organization details are current.
- Include only scholarships, projects or purposes your organization is authorised to support.
- Manage permissions, notices and other legal obligations as your organization’s responsibility.
- The authority and responsibility for collecting donations, running campaigns and using donations for their stated purpose belongs to the relevant organization.
Donation pages
Create separate donation pages for your organization, scholarships and projects
An organization may have more than one scholarship programme or project. Separate donation pages can be created for each and can address different donor groups. Donors can review the information on the page and directly support the organization, scholarship or project.
- Create an open donation page for your organization.
- Create a separate support page for a specific scholarship programme.
- Create a project-based donation page for a specific education project or need.
- Allow open donation amounts or set a fixed or minimum amount for the relevant page.
Time-limited campaigns
A dedicated donation page is prepared for cash campaigns
Cash campaigns can be run through bursverenler.org. As campaigns are time-limited, a dedicated donation page describing the campaign’s purpose and scope is prepared, and donations are collected through that page.
- Clearly state the campaign purpose, duration and intended use of donations.
- Donors can review campaign information before supporting it.
- An organization may keep up to five donation pages open at the same time.
- Send updated copy and documents through the authorised organization channel when campaign information changes.
The relevant organization is responsible for campaign content, donation use, permissions and the accuracy of information provided to donors.
Notifications and transfers
Automatic notifications and monthly tracking are available
When a donation is made to your organization, the system sends the donor a thank-you message. Authorised organization users are also informed through the donation-notification information available to them, and can view donations made to the organization or its projects in the panel.
- Review donation activity by organization or project whenever needed.
- Follow donation information through monthly reports.
- A 4% service fee is deducted from online donations; no additional hidden cost is applied.
- The remaining donation amount is transferred to the organization’s declared official donation account under the monthly transfer conditions stated in the accepted donation agreement.
Payments and scholarship process
The platform provides the donation page; payments and decisions belong to the organization
Donations made with Bonus-featured credit cards may be split into up to six instalments. However, decisions on whom to support, the amount and conditions of support, and whether a scholarship continues, is reduced or ends are entirely the responsibility of the relevant organization.
- bursverenler.org does not make scholarship payment commitments on behalf of an organization.
- Payment timing and method are determined under the organization’s scholarship programme rules.
- Scholar selection and programme management are carried out through the organization’s authorised process.
- Keep donation-page information consistent with current programme information.
