Dear Members,

Our Kültür College Foundation, inspired by Fahamettin and Gül Akıngüç's family values ​​based on solidarity, sharing and trust, and Kültür College's ideal of serving education, has left behind 35 years. Equality of opportunity in education has always been at the forefront in the focus of our Foundation, which brought Istanbul Kültür University to the higher education of our country 11 years after its establishment. With our scholarship policy, we have tried to support many of our children and young people to access education services with equal opportunities. As a work of our Foundation, we opened our KEV Hall in Kültür College Ataköy Campus, where we host science, thought and art workers who make a difference with their culture, in 1995. In short, our Foundation has taken responsibility in many areas with its humble stance for 35 years in the fields of education, research and social responsibility.

In an age where sharing, solidarity, equality, and respect for human rights and freedoms gain more and more meaning, the mission of our Foundation is much more important now. The world and our country are going through more difficult tests than ever before. Access to basic needs such as education, health and technology is increasingly restricted. Social issues such as inequality, marginalization, discrimination and violence are escalating at the global level. In addition to all the opportunities it brings, the age we live in also brings with it very serious issues that can be solved with solidarity, sharing and awareness. Therefore, more than ever, we need to work with dedication, to serve with passion, to share wholeheartedly, to encourage goodwill and ethical values, and most importantly to expand our area of ​​responsibility. 

As Kültür College Foundation, which institutionalized our culture of solidarity and sharing into a much more organized structure, our goal is to address the problems that await solutions in the fields of education, research and social responsibility in 2022. We would like to express our sincere thanks to all our members who accompany our foundation on its journey for equality, sharing and solidarity, represent its core values ​​and encourage sharing.

With our culture of solidarity, sharing and equality, we hope to carry our Foundation forward together, which is the education guarantee of the generations that grow up...

With friendship,

Ful Akıngüç                                                                                 Lale Akıngüç
