Why Partner with the Izmirlian Foundation

The Izmirlian Foundation believes that lasting impact is achieved through strong partnerships. We work with public institutions, international organisations, civil society, academic institutions, the private sector and other philanthropic partners that share our commitment to Armenia’s sustainable development and the well-being of its people.

We bring more than three decades of experience supporting initiatives in Armenia and the Armenian world, combining philanthropic resources with local knowledge, long-term engagement and a strong focus on meaningful and sustainable results.

We seek partnerships that bring together complementary expertise, resources and networks and that can generate impact beyond what any single organisation could achieve alone.

Co-funding Opportunities

The Foundation welcomes opportunities to co-fund initiatives with organisations whose objectives are aligned with our mission and strategic priorities. Co-funding can enable partners to combine resources, share expertise and risks, expand the scale of successful interventions and strengthen their long-term sustainability.

Partnership arrangements are developed according to the nature of each initiative and may include joint financing, technical expertise, implementation support or other forms of collaboration.

Partnership Principles

Our partnerships are primarily focused on areas aligned with the Foundation’s strategic priorities, including:

• Education
• Healthcare
• Social welfare and inclusion
• Innovation, artificial intelligence and high-tech
• Community development and tourism
• Armenian cultural and national heritage
• Other initiatives including social impact investing that contribute to Armenia’s sustainable development and strengthen the connection between Armenia and the Diaspora

We particularly value partnerships that are evidence-based, results-oriented, sustainable and capable of creating lasting institutional or systemic impact.
