Ways to Donate to Armenian Causes

The ANCA offers you a number of giving options for Armenian Charities

Explore the many ways you can support the ANCA's Pro-Armenian Mission: A Secure Armenia, a Free Nagorno Karabakh, and Strong U.S.-Armenia Relations

For more than a century, through the ANCA and our predecessor Armenian charity organizations, Armenian Americans have served on the front lines of the fight for Armenia liberty by donating to Armenia.  Today, building upon this proud legacy, we advocate for justice for the Armenian Genocide, security for the independent Nagorno Karabakh Republic, stronger U.S.-Armenia relations, and safety for our Middle East Armenian communities.

With your financial support when you donate to Armenian causes, we can more effectively advance your views and values – countering the enemies of the Armenian nation and cooperating with one another toward a brighter Armenian future for generations to come.

Whether you choose to give now or later, would like to make a one-time gift or a monthly donation to Armenian causes, or prefer to support either our advocacy or our educational programs, the choice is yours.

If you have any questions or would like assistance, please contact us at (202) 775-1918 or donate@anca.org.

Planned giving allows Armenian Americans to leave a pro-Armenian legacy for future generations. With the help of an attorney or tax professional, you can easily and quickly plan a gift to the ANCA Endowment Fund as part of your estate plan in a variety of ways:

1) Leaving a Bequest

A bequest is an easy, flexible way to make a lasting impact that can help you receive an estate tax charitable deduction and reduce your family’s tax burden. Include a bequest to the ANCA Endowment Fund in your will or revocable trust – in the form of a set dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or a residual bequest, made from the balance of your estate.

The following are suggested language options for your legal professional to consider integrating into your will or trust:

a) Leaving a Set Amount:

I give, devise and bequeath to the ANCA Endowment Fund, 1711 N Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036, the sum of $________ (or here otherwise describe the gift) for its general purposes as shall be determined by its Board of Directors.

b) Leaving a Percentage:

All [or state a ____%] of the rest, residue, and remainder of my property, both real and personal and wheresoever situated, I give, devise and bequeath to the ANCA Endowment Fund, 1711 N Street, NW, Washington, DC 20036, for its general purposes as shall be determined by its Board of Directors.

2) IRA Rollover:
Designate the ANCA Endowment Fund as a full, partial or contingent beneficiary of your retirement account (IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or pension).

Congress has recently enacted a permanent extension of he IRA Charitable Rollover, which allows individuals age 70 1/2 or older to make charitable gifts directly from their IRA, such that these gifts count towards Required Minimum Distributions.

3) Life Insurance:
Name the ANCA Endowment as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy.

With a donation of $10,000 or more, you have the option of establishing a permanent fund in the ANCA Endowment Fund in your name or in memory/honor of a loved one. Donors may earmark their donation for a specific program or policy area, which will benefit from yearly proceeds in perpetuity.

If you are considering making a planned gift to the ANCA Endowment Fund or Armenian National Committee of America, please keep in mind that the 501(c)(3) or (c)(4) status of your beneficiary can affect the distribution of your assets in relation to estate tax exposure.

The Armenian National Committee of America is a 501(c)(4) organization that engages in pro-Armenian political advocacy and is NOT tax deductible. The ANCA Endowment Fund is an IRS designated 501(c)(3) charitable organization that engages in educational and civic work and is tax deductible.

Please consider consulting with your lawyer or tax professional to explore the best options for you and your family to support Armenia with your donation.
