There are many charitable institutions constructed by Izzet Mehmed Pasha in Istanbul and in Manisa, but most of them being in Safranbolu. To meet the expenses of these institutions, he transferred many of his private properties in Safranbolu, in Istanbul, in Atina, in Izmir and in Manisa to the income resources of his endowments.
