On April 19 the Tufenkian Foundation (TF) has launched a $30,000 crowdfunding appeal to assist Artsakh following the destructive four-day war. The appeal will last 15 days.
Yerevan, Armenia – Our compatriots in Artsakh suffered through a tense and violent period during the first week of April, as Azerbaijan launched unprovoked assaults along the NKR’s eastern front. While order is now being restored, this disruption has created many needs which Armenians worldwide are now addressing.
The Tufenkian Foundation appreciates the efforts undertaken by Armenians from every corner: Whether writing checks, offering professional assistance, or volunteering themselves, Armenian people once again have shown admirable solidarity in times of trial.
In recent days, we’ve thought hard about how to assist this effort in a meaningful way; directing assistance toward pressing, unmet needs and in ways that utilize our skills, capabilities, and presence on the ground.
With these goals in mind, the TF is launching an appeal for funds for the next 15 days, addressing three primary areas:
1. Emergency medical supplies: TF has identified medicines and wound care products (such as Celox) in short supply that are badly needed by our armed forces, should they face a similar situation again.
2. Housing construction/repair: Offering assistance in repairing and refurbishing houses in the affected areas.
3. Media response: Facilitating the work of journalists (known quantities, effective actors) who can provide media reports that are fair, balanced, and impactful.
If you wish to support these efforts, you can make your donation online or by mailing a check, payable to the Tufenkian Foundation, to:
The Tufenkian Foundation
20 Capitol Drive
Moonachie, NJ 07074

Together we can achieve our goal and provide assistance to those affected by the war in Artsakh.
