What Türkische Gemeinde in Baden- Württemberg e. V does

Türkische Gemeinde in Baden-Württemberg e.V. (tgbw) is a registered non-profit civil society association (e.V.) founded in 1999 and headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany. It operates as the largest Turkish-German civil society organization in Baden-Württemberg, delivering a portfolio of roughly 15+ concurrent public-benefit programs spanning anti-discrimination counseling, victim support for right-wing violence, LGBTQ+ empowerment, workforce integration, youth democracy education, women empowerment, and disability inclusion. Core services include LEUCHTLINIE — a specialized counseling center for victims of right-wing, racist, and anti-Semitic violence (184 persons advised in 2024, up from 99 cases documented in 2023 to 135 in 2024) — Job-HELP (an AZAV-approved §16k SGB II employment integration measure), and programming around identity-based communities through the Diversity Akademie platform (diversity-akademie.org) and the broader member-association network (24 member associations and 27 individual members as of January 2024).

The organization's technology stack is primarily a service-delivery infrastructure rather than a product platform. tgbw.de is the primary institutional web presence hosting project pages, event management, and newsletter distribution. Diversity Akademie operates as an external educational platform hosting a media library with sensitization tools, event registration, and counseling sign-up for sexual/gender diversity and right-wing violence topics. Past experimentation with AI included the Diversumat chatbot for diversity-topic support, now in the legacy project archive. Operational partnerships leverage third-party tooling: AccessiBe for website accessibility, pretix.eu for event ticketing. Physical delivery occurs through a network of offices (Stuttgart headquarters, Fellbach, Backnang, Murrhardt) and AZAV-certified co-locations with partner organizations (Kubus e.V. at PLEKS Fellbach, Zukunftswerkstatt Rückenwind e.V. in Backnang). The organization maintains DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 certification and AZAV-Trägerzulassung, both first obtained in November 2018 and most recently validated through a successful surveillance audit in November 2025.

tgbw is entirely grant- and dues-funded, with no fees charged to beneficiaries. Revenue streams comprise public institutional funding (BMFSFJ, BMI/BAMF, EU-AMIF, Land Baden-Württemberg ministries), foundation funding (Aktion Mensch, Deutsche Fernsehlotterie), AZAV contracts with the Agentur für Arbeit and Jobcenter for employment-integration measures, plus limited membership dues from 24 member associations and 27 individual members. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, supplemented by sales-led activity only for Job-HELP's contractual employer relationships. The customer base is institutional (government funders, foundations) rather than individual beneficiaries, all services being free at point of use. Service delivery is concentrated in Baden-Württemberg, with the Stuttgart metropolitan region as the dense core and rural expansion underway via the DEAL für Demokratie project. Leadership is a board-model volunteer structure headed by Gökay Sofuoğlu, who simultaneously serves as Federal Chairman (Bundesvorsitzender) of the Türkische Gemeinde in Deutschland (tgd).
