AGBU is the name Armenians worldwide know and trust. During recent humanitarian crises, AGBU worked diligently to make sure donor generosity transformed into impactful emergency aid. Through specific designations, donor dollars support the success and growth of specific programs and projects. And as always, the critical support to our ongoing operational needs through the AGBU Opportunity Fund ensures that we maintain top quality execution of our global work and programming.
We are grateful to the hundreds of thousands of donors throughout our history who have made an important impact on the Armenian World through AGBU.
Global Aid and Action
The world for Armenians changed in the blink of an eye in the fall of 2020. Already struck with pandemic and economic hardship, Armenians in Lebanon were compounded with the tragedy of the blast at the Beirut port in August followed by the unfathomable reality of an unprovoked war in Artsakh the following month. The community stepped up with action and contributions of all sizes. Click below to see AGBU in action.
