We have so many exciting education projects underway right now—but this one is especially for the music lovers 🎶

“Stock the Shelves” will fund the shelving and furnishings for the newly renovated library at Yerevan's Komitas State Conservatory—an institution with a 100+ year legacy and alumni like Arno Babajanian.

We’re already 80% funded, with just $2,000 left to raise by April 25.

When our Helena visited the Conservatory, she saw firsthand the need: a beautifully restored library space that’s still completely empty. Right now, the collection—filled with rare materials and donations from renowned musicians—is being housed in the concert hall, making it difficult for both students and faculty to use.

With your support, we can change that—preserving these cultural treasures and creating a space where students can truly learn, create, and be inspired.

🌟 Susie grew up in Gyumri, worked tirelessly through university, and followed her passion for science all the way to a master’s program at Stanford. When financial barriers came up, she turned to her community—and crowdfunding helped her take that final step.

That’s the power of people showing up for each other!

If Susie’s story tells us anything, it’s that sometimes all someone needs is that final push.

Today is the LAST day of our matching campaign. We have just $3,000 left to raise to unlock a $20,000 gift to fund scholarships for 16–30 girls at .

We’re so close. Let’s do this together 💫 Contribute at the !

Thank you so much for the warm welcome, Saint Sarkis Armenian Apostolic Church of Charlotte!

We enjoyed meeting members of your community and sharing more about Fund for Armenian Relief, Inc's transformational work in Armenia. We are so grateful for your support 💛

📓📚For years, Fund for Armenian Relief, Inc has partnered with the Center for Children with Learning Disabilities, which trains public school teachers nationwide and provides critical therapies for children with special needs.

Right now, FAR is renovating the center’s aging Soviet-era building. Most rooms are already transformed—but four therapy rooms still need sponsors. Today, they’re old, uninviting, and in some cases unsafe.

Our goal is to raise a total of $30,000 by May 1 so construction can finish this summer with minimal disruption for the kids!

Happy birthday to our loyal friend and FAR junior board member Lara!

She is donating her 26th birthday to our project to fund home appliances for families displaced from Artsakh that FAR is supporting in the Sisian region of Syunik.

Lara wants to raise $300, which is enough to fund a washing machine for one family. Will you help her reach her goal? https://secure.qgiv.com/event/donateyourbirthday/account/2274415/
