Enriching the educational, cultural and social wellbeing of our community
Founded by members of San Antonio's Turkish-American community, the foundation builds bridges between Turkic and American cultures. We place dialogue at the heart of everything we do — meaningful engagement and exchange between diverse groups that deepens understanding and, ultimately, acceptance of one another.
Through conversations and events — community dinners, talks, panels and festivals — we address a wide range of social issues, transcending ethnicity and religion.
Founded by Muslim Turkish-Americans affiliated with the Hizmet Movement, Raindrop Foundation San Antonio integrates citizens into American society by addressing educational, social, religious, and cultural needs while serving the greater San Antonio community through programs that cultivate cross-cultural friendships and promote interfaith dialogue.
We strive to establish bridges between the Turkic and American cultures and communities by providing easily accessible educational, social, and cultural services — contributing to global peace at the grassroots level by sharing Turkic countries' heritage of tolerance and understanding.
