Supported Projects

Project Grants

Every year, the Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation supports various cultural, educational, research and philanthropic initiatives that have a positive impact on the Armenian world. Through projects that are in line with the Department’s priority areas, we have been supporting individuals, institutions and non-profit organizations in their efforts to strengthen the Armenian language, culture, and identity in the Diaspora, and enhancing intellectual creativity, critical thinking and the emergence of educated youth and future leaders in Armenia.

Moreover, in line with its mission to strengthen the Western Armenian language, a main focus for the Armenian Communities Department, for the past ten years, the Department has been giving, and continues to give, support to Armenian schools and educational institutions in the Diaspora, through direct aid, but also altering from direct small grants of help towards bigger grants for better reforms in schools and educational centres for more impact in the field of education.

The lists below give a general overview of the projects supported by the Department since 2014. The dates of the projects mainly correspond to their grant approval dates and not to the year of implementation or completion. The countries mentioned correspond to the implementing partner’s country, as in the interconnected Armenian world it is sometimes difficult to situate the projects in specific countries, since they span Armenia and various Diasporan countries.

Our project grants are open to all applicants, regardless of nationality or country of implementation, as long as they pertain to Armenian themes and issues.
