Armenian non-profits, foundations, NGOs and charities based in Yerevan.
These are organisations working on the ground in Armenia rather than fundraising arms abroad, which is the distinction that matters if you want a donation to reach a programme rather than an office. The range runs from large foundations with decades of history to small outfits formed around one specific need.
Donations to an Armenian-registered organisation are generally not deductible on a US return unless it has a US affiliate or fiscal sponsor. Many of the larger ones do, so ask. For a significant gift, ask how funds are received, since wire fees and exchange spreads can take a meaningful bite out of a modest donation before it reaches anyone.
Most of these organisations will meet a diaspora visitor who writes ahead, and several run structured volunteer and internship programmes. If you are going to be in Yerevan anyway, a visit tells you far more than a website will. Bring a specific offer rather than a general one, because an organisation short on staff cannot easily make use of unspecified goodwill.
There are currently 26 Armenian non-profits listed in Yerevan, pulled live from the SupportArmenian directory rather than hand-picked, so the list stays current as listings are added and claimed. Run one of these businesses? Add or claim your listing — it is free.
