Our Mission to Support the Armenian Cause

“At the Armenian National Committee of America, we are dedicated to advancing the concerns of the Armenian American community. Your support empowers us to advocate for justice, equality, and recognition on behalf of Armenians everywhere.” -Raffi Hamparian

For more than a century, through the ANCA and our predecessor organizations, Armenian Americans have served on the front lines of the fight for Armenia liberty.  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, 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, 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.

You have two great ways to support the Armenian Cause, each with different benefits and various giving options.

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.

ANCA is dedicated to advancing the Armenian Cause and protecting Armenian heritage.

We are working tirelessly to advocate for justice, recognition, and the rights of Armenians globally. Through our efforts, we aim to ensure that Armenian voices are heard and respected in the halls of power.

ANCA advocates and campaigners have successfully influenced key policymakers and major organizations—including several state legislatures and educational institutions—to recognize the Armenian Genocide and promote Armenian cultural awareness.

We are committed to ending discrimination against Armenians, securing justice for past atrocities, and fostering a strong, vibrant Armenian community. However, we can only continue this vital work with your support.

Even $15 A Month (Less Than A Coffee A Day) Can Make A Real Impact

“Advocacy days on Capitol Hill stood out as the highlight of my experience as a Maral Melkonian Avetisyan Fellow. Engaging with our Congressional Representative and Senators on issues vital to my community was both empowering and enlightening. Additionally, I had the opportunity to connect with fellow Armenians from the DC area, broadening my network and deepening my understanding of our shared concerns.” – Nareh Aseyan
