2009-02-27Newly published 2008 donor list shows five-fold increase in Armenia donations
As it published its 2008 list of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh based donors, the Hayastan All Armenian Fund noted a nearly five-fold increase in contributions from the homeland compared with 2007, as well as considerable growth in anonymous donations. The donor list was printed in the Republic of Armenia newspaper and is posted on the fund’s website at himnadram.org. The list will also be published in the fund’s annual Golden Book.
Ara Vardanyan, the Hayastan All Armenian Fund’s acting executive director, expressed gratitude to the thousands of supporters whose names appear on the list, and assured them that their donations today help significantly accelerate the homeland’s economic, educational, and social development. Vardanyan added that the increase in contributions was due in part to a novel fundraising strategy implemented last year. Introduced in the fourth quarter of 2008, that effort called for Armenia residents to make donations of any size at their local post-office (HayPost) branch.
“Our experience and public surveys alike show that there is great potential for the expansion of fundraising in Armenia proper,” Vardanyan said, pointing out the results of the 2008 campaign. “There is no such thing as a big or small donation,” he continued. “We are happy with the smallest amount of money donated. This makes a tremendous difference in helping us carry out our mission. Moreover, each and every donor, irrespective of contribution size, will find his or her name in our annual report and Golden Book. We are thankful to everybody: our long-term benefactors as well as thousands of compatriots – whom we may not have the honor of knowing personally but before whom we are equally responsible.”
Vardanyan also conveyed the Hayastan All Armenian Fund’s gratitude to all the major sponsors of the fund’s 2008 Telethon, including VivaCell-MTS, Ardshinbank, Acba-Credit Agricole Bank, HayPost, and Armenian Public Television.
