JHM Charitable Foundation focuses its giving on Armenian-focused development and education initiatives, alongside selective support for arts/cultural institutions and a small number of local social services. The foundation makes a handful of very large grants—often repeated to the same organizations—favoring programmatic support for schools, technology/education centers, and community development in Armenia while occasionally funding major cultural partners in the U.S.
Jhm Charitable Foundation’s largest recent grants go to Armenia-linked education infrastructure, with Tumo Foundation receiving $2,348,147 in 2025 and Jhm Armenia Development Foundation receiving $2,165,473 in 2024. Those awards sit at the center of a broader pattern of major support for Armenian development, technology learning, schools, and community institutions. The foundation also backed Children of Armenia Fund with $505,000 in 2025 and $500,000 in 2024, showing repeated support for the same organization over multiple years. Its giving is not limited to Armenia itself. The recent grant list includes substantial support for U.S.-based Armenian cultural and community organizations, such as American Friends of the Louvre Inc, Armenian Museum of America, Armenian Mesrobian School, and Ararat Home of Los Angeles. The portfolio also reaches into social services through Women's Support Center and local community support organizations in California and beyond. Across these grants, the foundation favors public support of organization mission, often at a scale large enough to sustain major programs rather than one-off projects.
In Armenia national development and capacity-building, Jhm Charitable Foundation gave $1,889,835 in 2025 to Jhm Armenia Development Foundation in Yerevan and $1,675,814 in 2023 to Jhm Armenia Development Foundation in AM. The foundation also supported Civilitas Foundation with $200,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2024, linking its portfolio to civic and institutional work. Education is another recurring thread. Tumo Foundation received $2,348,147 in 2025 and $900,000 in 2024, while Simonian Educational Foundation received $615,000 in 2023. The foundation also funded Armenian Mesrobian School with $500,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023, plus Friends of Teach for Armenia with $136,400 in 2025. Beyond education, it gave $566,000 to Women's Support Center in 2024 and $100,000 in 2025 to Armenian Wounded Heroes Fund, reflecting selective support for community and social service organizations.
Typical grant size clusters around $10,000 at the 25th percentile, a $25,000 median, and $77,500 at the 75th percentile, but the recent grant list also includes several seven-figure awards. The pattern suggests a mix of smaller awards and very large institutional grants. The same organizations appear across multiple years, including Tumo Foundation, Jhm Armenia Development Foundation, Children of Armenia Fund, Women's Support Center, Armenian Mesrobian School, Ararat Home of Los Angeles, and Armenian Wounded Heroes Fund. The foundation makes program support grants and also makes program-related investments.
