Civilitas in Your Will

Remember the Civilitas Foundation, a US 501(c)(3) public charity, in your will and leave a Bequest. Your name will be memorialized through meaningful programs in Armenia. The Diaspora grew stronger thanks to the bequests of generations who came before. They didn’t have a chance to give directly to Armenia. You do. Give for Armenia. Ask us how.

Why Give

"I'm not doing my philanthropic work, out of any kind of guilt, or any need to create good public relations. I'm doing it because I can afford to do it, and I believe in it."
George Soros

I Gave

FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN

"I have three grandchildren: Ariana, Lory and Giana and I feel very very fortunate. The reason I donated three cows for three farmers is because the farmers and their families deserve to be as lucky as I am." JOHN GARIBIAN, California

Towards Supporting Rural Development

Turn Armenia into the country of your dreams.

We are privileged to live at a time when we can build our country.

As we enter the third decade of Armenia’s independence, every day is
a historic first for Armenians. An independent Armenia continues to grow and develop.
Let’s not take it for granted.

Let’s defend dignity and fight poverty in Armenia.
Let’s give Armenia’s farmers a hand up, not a handout.
Let’s grow Armenia’s libraries. Let’s strengthen organizations and institutions.

Let’s do it together.
This is a mission in memory of our grandparents; but more, it's a mission
for the sake of our children.

Information about Armenia, Armenia’s economic, political, social, educational and artistic processes, images of its people and institutions can be found on various websites, including www.civilitasfoundation.org, www.civil.am, www.armeniadiaspora.com.
