Pathways to Turkish Culture/Give to the Max

Turkish American Association of Minnesota, also known as TAAM, is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering a deeper and broader understanding of Turkish culture, language, arts, music, dance, and cuisine in Minnesota. As a culture bearer, TAAM predominantly aims to be the bridge between the older and younger generations of Turkish Minnesotans, for younger generations to have a better comprehension of  their heritage, language, and traditions. Turkish American Association of Minnesota also aims to bring people from many diverse cultures together and build a passageway between different cultures in Minnesota. 

As well as being a cultural ambassador, TAAM has been the back bone of the Turkish-Minnesotan community in Minnesota by always extending a helping hand to many other Turkish people, who would come to Minnesota from Turkey, Europe or from other states in the United States, for new and life altering circumstances such as college education, attending graduate school, new jobs, or temporary stays due to conferences or conventions. 

Besides having base line membership dues, Turkish American Association of Minnesota relied on what they gained during the Festival of Nations by the International Institute of Minnesota, of which Turkish American Association has been an active member.  

Especially after the Festival of  Nations, an important long standing tradition for multi cultural communities to come together in Minnesota, being cancelled due to Covid pandemic for the past three years in a row, Turkish American Association of Minnesota lost its most reliable funding.  

Now TAAM's livelihood is entirely based on membership dues, donations and countless, and relentless hours of volunteer effort. 

We need your generosity and support more than ever during Give to the Max drive!

Your generous donations will mean so much to our community. 

We are honored to continue being the culture bearer of our Turkish American community here in Minnesota. 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
