the talisman turtle project

Greetings, My name is Dieter Homburg, and I am the proud founder and project lead of The Talisman Turtle Project™. I’m honored to introduce you to a mission that is both personal and powerful — a mission aimed at empowering underprivileged children through education, mentorship, and safe community spaces.

We are launching this campaign on FUNDLY because we believe in the power of community support. Regardless of size, your contribution can become a crucial part of helping us lay the foundation for meaningful change.

At its core, The Talisman Turtle Project™ exists to provide educational resources, mentorship, and safe environments for children facing systemic disadvantages. This project was inspired by a deep need to do more than just acknowledge the problems children face — but to offer real tools and spaces that help them grow, learn, and feel seen.

The vision took shape when I encountered a community of children struggling with limited access to resources and no reliable support system. That moment sparked the belief that if no one else was building solutions, we could. And we should.

Our aim is to turn this vision into structured, lasting support — from learning tools and mentorship to community-based programs that create a ripple effect of opportunity.

We understand that every supporter wants to know their contribution makes a real difference. This campaign isn’t about short-term results — it’s about building an organization that will serve communities for years to come.

Your support helps us:

• Legally establish our nonprofit so we can expand our impact

• Begin building community programs and partnerships

• Provide children with better resources and opportunities

And most of all, you become part of every success story we create.

There are several ways you can support this project today:

• Donate — Every contribution, large or small, brings us closer to our launch.

• Share — Use your voice to spread the word via social media, email, or within your community.

• Collaborate — If you’re a mentor, educator, or advocate, we welcome partnerships from passionate changemakers.

• Support Organizational Growth — If you’d like to assist with future stages of the project, we’d be grateful to connect.

  We believe in building this nonprofit the right way — from the ground up, with clear intentions and open communication.

  Supporters will receive:

  • Detailed updates on how funds are used

  • Progress reports and official documentation once registration is complete

  • Opportunities to be involved in the mentorship network or provide advisory input in the future

  Your trust means everything — and we’re committed to keeping it through transparency and consistency.

  This campaign represents an essential first step — a foundational effort to establish the legal and administrative structure needed to move forward with our work.

  By contributing to this phase, you’re helping us take practical steps toward future programs focused on academic support, mentorship, and emotional well-being for young people. Every contribution strengthens the infrastructure required to responsibly and sustainably develop our services.

  We welcome your support and involvement as we build a platform dedicated to positive outcomes for under-resourced communities.

  Thank you for your time, encouragement, and support in helping us take this first responsible step.

  With appreciation, Dieter Homburg Founder, The Talisman Turtle Project™
