Frequently Asked Questions

Not at this time.
The Ceylan Conger Foundation is in the process of being formally established, so contributions made here are not currently tax-deductible. As the foundation becomes fully registered, we will update this page and notify our community.
During this initial period, all funds raised will be directed, in full, to trusted nonprofit organizations that reflect Ceylan’s values, including World Central Kitchen.
If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation directly to World Central Kitchen, we completely understand. If you do, we would love to hear about it so we can include it in the total impact of giving made in Ceylan’s name. You can reach us at ceylanfoundation@gmail.com.

Yes — and we’d love that. Ceylan built a beautifully diverse community, and this foundation will be stronger because of it.
If you’re interested in getting involved in any way — volunteering your time, sharing ideas, offering skills, or helping us think about future initiatives — please reach out to us at ceylanfoundation@gmail.com.
As the foundation grows, we hope to create meaningful ways for people to contribute and participate. For now, we welcome support in whatever form feels right to you, and we’re grateful for every offer to help carry her values forward.

The idea for this foundation grew from conversations led by Ceylan’s mother, Caya, and is carried forward in partnership with some of Ceylan's closest friends and family. It’s a shared effort rooted in love for Ceylan and a desire to carry forward the way she lived.
