Hayastan All-Armenian Fund launches annual fundraising campaign through
HayPost
Yerevan, September 29, 2009 - The Hayastan All-Armenian Fund and HayPost
CJSC, Armenia's postal service, launched their 2009 joint fundraising
campaign in the republic, seeking to build on the success of last year's
drive and benefit the fund's rural-development programs.
The campaign is designed to facilitate grassroots fundraising throughout
Armenia, by giving people the opportunity to make cash donations at any of
HayPost's 950 offices. From October 1 until the end of 2009, HayPost
branches will accept contributions of any size and provide donors with
receipts. The proceeds will be used for the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund's
ongoing community-development projects in the border towns and villages of
Armenia and Artsakh.
The slogan for this year's fundraising campaign, which has been carried over
from 2008, is "Let us build our homeland for our children." The message is
conveyed eloquently through a variety of posters displayed at post offices.
In these visually striking posters, school-age children are pictured in
community environments that clearly require urgent development assistance.
One child is photographed in the foreground of a ramshackle school; another
stands next to a dried-up spring; yet another is seen playing on a decrepit
road. These posters communicate the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund's priority
areas for development, including the renovation of schools; construction of
water pipelines, mains, and networks; and repair or paving of roads.
"Our fundraising collaboration with HayPost last year was an unprecedented
endeavor, one that brought to the fore Armenia's wonderful potential for
indigenous philanthropy," said Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the
Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. "We hope that this year's campaign will lead to
even more impressive results, considering the convenience and ease it offers
to compatriots who wish to support the fund by making small donations."
Thanks to the 2008 campaign, the number of Armenian residents who make
contributions to the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund tripled. More than 12,000
donors responded to the drive, particularly in Armenia's outlying regions.
The fund also announced that its model of collaboration with HayPost will be
replicated in Artsakh. Through a newly reached agreement with Artsakhpost,
the postal service of Nagorno Karabakh, a parallel fundraising campaign will
be carried out in the mountainous republic, giving its residents the
opportunity to provide grassroots support for the fund's development
projects.
