The Galadjian Family Foundation concentrates its giving on Armenian community institutions, primarily supporting education and youth development. Major gifts fund technology and STEM education programs, Armenian day schools, and youth athletics/scouting groups, often through multi-grant relationships with a small number of core organizations. The foundation’s portfolio emphasizes strengthening Armenian cultural identity and preparing young people with academic and extracurricular opportunities.
The Galadjian Family Foundation’s largest recent gifts go to Armenian science and technology education, with $62,500 awarded in both 2024 and 2025 to the Foundation of Armenian Science and Technology in Yerevan. That pattern sits alongside repeated support for Tumo Center for Creative Technologies, which received $45,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025 for educational purposes. The foundation’s grant record points to a consistent interest in Armenian youth opportunities, especially learning programs, school support, and organized activities for children and teens. Within that portfolio, school-based giving is a clear thread. Alex & Rose Pilibos Armenian School in Los Angeles received $30,000 in 2024 after a $5,700 grant in 2023. Holy Martyrs Ferrahian High School in Encino appears in three consecutive years, and several other Armenian schools and youth-serving groups also recur. The foundation also funds community programs tied to sports, scouting, and cultural development, including Homenetmen, Friends of Team Armenia Basketball, and the Armenian Wounded Heros Fund. Recent grants show a mix of larger project support and smaller charitable gifts, with many awards aimed at strengthening Armenian institutions serving young people.
Education is the foundation’s most visible theme. In 2025, it gave $45,000 to Tumo Center for Creative Technologies in Yerevan for educational purposes, and in the same year it gave $5,000 to Agbu in New York for educational purposes. A separate education thread runs through Armenian schools in California, including $30,000 to Alex & Rose Pilibos Armenian School in Los Angeles and $5,000 to Holy Martyrs Ferrahian High School in Encino in 2025. Youth athletics and scouting also appear frequently. The American Armenian Basketball Association in Glendale received $40,000 in 2023 for athletes and scouts programs, while Friends of Team Armenia Basketball in Glendale received $15,000 in 2023 and $5,000 in 2025 for athletic or charitable purposes. Community-based youth support shows up in grants to Homenetmen in La Crescenta for providing kids of the Armenian community with a safe and sound environment, and to Gateway Industry Inc in Burbank for the same purpose.
Typical grants cluster around a modest middle range: the p25 is $5,000, the median is $5,277, and the p75 is $20,000. At the high end, the foundation made repeated $62,500 awards and several $45,000 grants; at the low end, it also wrote $1,000 and $2,000 checks. The pattern is relationship-based rather than one-off: Foundation of Armenian Science and Technology, Tumo Center for Creative Technologies, Homenetmen, Holy Martyrs Ferrahian High School, and Armenian Wounded Heros Fund all appear in multiple years. The foundation is a private family foundation and does not make grants to individuals or PRIs.
