Turkan Sabanci, who had been Sakip Sabanci`s partner for 47 years, explains her charitable character in these words: “As the Sabanci Family, we are happy as long as we can be charitable for our country and its people through the institutions we establish. Our love for our country keeps us alive along with the desire to serve Turkish society.” Turkan Sabanci was President of the Executive Board of the Turkish Heart Foundation and has supported the Caba Organization, UNICEF, Turkish Police Support Foundation, Turkish Educational Foundation (TEV), Cancer Foundation, The Foundation of Developing Technological Education (TEGEV), Haydi Tut Elimi Foundation, Kayseri Fraternal Association, Turkish Liver Foundation, and Turkish Foundation of Spastic Children.

Her speeches always emphasize the importance of supporting social responsibility projects.

Suvari Barracks, a historical building, in Mardin’s city center was restored by the Sabanci Foundation upon Sakip Sabanci`s will and turned into a museum. The Art Gallery in the first floor was named after Dilek Sabanci because of her many contributions. The museum has been open to the public since the 1st of October, 2009. Dilek Sabanci is also the chair of Vista Tourism and Travel Agency which she founded in 1989.

Metin, born in 1970, is the second child of the Sabanci family. His spastic paralysis and mental disablities from birth led to his parents ensuing committment for his treatment and their ensuing establishment of the Metin Sabanci Spastic Children Rehabilitation Center. Sakip Sabanci embarked upon this research due to a conversation with Senior Engineer Muammer Dolmaci who said, “Because you had the means you could try every way you could and learned the reality of this illenss. It is your responsibility to help out those who don’t have the means and therefore think there is hope behind the doors that they cannot open.” Sakip Sabanci’s discovery of the absence of institutions for children with spastic paralysis in Turkey led to his 1976establishment of the Metin Sabanci Spastic Children’s Rehabilitation Center.
