THE FUNDRAISING PROJECT

 

THE FUNDRAISING PROJECT

Since the launch of AGBU FOCUS in 2001, $430,000 has been raised for AGBU programs supporting education, youth, and women’s health. FOCUS donors and sponsors have played an integral role in helping AGBU encourage, inspire, and shape our next generation of Armenians, specifically by investing in life changing programs such as:

AGBU FOCUS 2017 SCHOLARSHIP CAMPAIGN

A contribution to the AGBU FOCUS 2017 Scholarship Campaign is a direct investment in the future of our global leaders and change-makers.

As tuition and living costs increase, the expense of a university education becomes a greater financial burden. The AGBU Scholarship Program
provides much needed financial assistance to Armenian students who may otherwise not be able to afford a university education.


Your donation to the AGBU FOCUS 2017 Scholarship Campaign is a direct investment in the future of our global leaders and change-makers. Together we can enrich the lives of thousands of young Armenians and help open doors to countless opportunities for a bright and promising future. There is no greater gift to a student.
