About Us
Our Story
NATİV was founded on January 14, 2025, by the Tiryakioğlu Family to honor the memory of late Nigar Tiryakioğlu and carry forward the life philosophy of Ali Tiryakioğlu.
For Nigar and Ali Tiryakioğlu, the future of young people, society, and the country could only be shaped in the right direction through quality education. Guided by this belief, NATİV works toward building a more fair, inclusive, and sustainable future through projects developed by the Tiryakioğlu Family to support educational initiatives, encourage scientific research, and strengthen social equality.
In pursuit of these goals, we align our work with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in the areas of Quality Education, Gender Equality, and Reduced Inequalities.
From Values to the Future
“Under the guidance of our parents, we experienced firsthand the importance of being honest and hardworking, doing one’s very best, and standing in solidarity with society. Being the children of Nigar and Ali Tiryakioğlu — who embodied such meaningful values — has been one of the greatest blessings of our lives. In order to honor the memory of our beloved parents in the way they would have wished, and to grow and strengthen the values they passed on to us within an institutional framework, we founded the Nigar-Ali Tiryakioğlu Foundation for Science, Health, and Education. Through this foundation, we are committed to sharing all that we have — both materially and spiritually — to contribute to the world, create lasting value, and support our young people throughout their educational and career journeys.
This foundation is an expression of our trust in young people and our belief in their potential. For this reason, we do not see our efforts as limited to financial support alone; through education, mentorship, and development programs, we aim to help young people discover themselves, turn their dreams into reality, and grow into individuals who create value for society. Because we believe in the power of learning together, growing together, and creating value together.
We will continue working for a future where young people can build themselves with confidence and purpose.”
