Compassion
Every initiative begins with deep listening — understanding the real needs of Armenian families before we propose a solution.
American Armenians for Armenia Charity Inc. unites the Armenian-American diaspora to deliver meaningful, transparent, and lasting support to families, students, and communities throughout Armenia.
Established in 2023 in Valencia, California, our organization was founded by a group of Armenian-American families who watched their homeland struggle through the most painful chapters of recent history and decided to act. We registered as a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 92-1405937) under the leadership of Siranush Zakaryan, our Principal Officer.
From humble beginnings — a handful of volunteers loading aid into family minivans — we have grown into a coordinated network of donors, volunteers, and community partners working across California, the East Coast, and Armenia.
Every dollar we raise is treated as a sacred trust. We commit to radical transparency, partnership with credible on-the-ground organizations, and a steadfast focus on dignity for the people we serve.

We hold ourselves to professional standards in finance, communication, and program execution.

We are stronger together — bridging California, the East Coast, Yerevan, and every Armenian heart in between.
We treat every donation as a sacred trust — measured, multiplied, and accounted for to the cent.
Our board is composed entirely of unpaid volunteers — community members who give their time, expertise, and resources to ensure every dollar reaches Armenia.
Siranush leads the organization from Valencia, California, coordinating fundraising, partnerships, and on-the-ground delivery in Armenia.
A diverse group of Armenian-American professionals — physicians, educators, attorneys, and entrepreneurs — providing strategic oversight.
