Armenian non-profit and non-government organizations are asked to complete a grant application and provide supplemental financial statements and marketing materials.
FASF then conducts phone and in-person interviews. The board then votes on the approval of the grant. FASF also visits the grant recipients’ office in Armenia and requests follow-up reports and financial statements. Access the standard grant application here.

Over the past two year period FASF has raised around $200 000 USD. Visit our Grants page to learn more about the organizations we supported.

Friends of the Armenian Soldier and Family (FASF) was founded by Adam Kablanian in February 2021 in response to the distressing humanitarian crisis affecting the soldiers and their families from the Nagorno-Karabakh war. FASF aims to create a continuous culture of giving for Armenian-Americans to support the needs of our veterans and their families back in Armenia.

FASF is working with great organizations based in Armenia, such as ZINAPAH that are supporting our fallen or disabled Armenian soldiers and their families. Visit our Grants page to learn more about other organizations we have partnered with and supported.

The Board of FASF is two veterans of the Armenian tech community: Adam Kablanian, and Patrick Sarkissian.
