PAROS FOUNDATION REPORTS ON 100 FOR 100 PROJECTS FOR PROSPERITY
Berkeley, CA - Since its official launch in October 2011, the Paros
Foundation's 100 for 100 Projects for Prosperity has had a significant and
meaningful positive impact on Armenia and her people. This initiative,
designed to provide the Armenian community with opportunities to recognize
the upcoming centennial of the Armenian Genocide through implementing 100
special projects in Armenia, is on schedule to meet its goal of having
these projects completed by the end of 2015.
100 for 100 Projects for Prosperity-Numbers of Significance:
- $0 from donor contributions has been spent on administrative expenses.
- 2 years remain to April 24, 2015.
- 18 months have passed since the Paros 100 for 100 initiative launch.
- 27 projects have been completed or are in progress.
- 71 people have been employed or temporarily received a salary as a
result of Paros 100 for 100 Projects.
- 73 projects remain to be implemented to reach the goal.
- 150 cities, villages and towns have benefited from a project.
- 210 donors have contributed to a Paros 100 for 100 Project.
- 83,696 people have benefited from a Paros 100 for 100 Project.
- $116,932 in cash contributions has been received and spent on Paros
100 for 100 Projects so far.
- $750,270 is the value of in-kind contributions received including
new shoes, dental supplies, computers and musical instruments.
`The numbers speak for themselves,' said Peter Abajian, Executive Director
of The Paros Foundation. `We are eagerly working to identify new projects,
advertise them on our website, and secure new potential project sponsors in
order to effectively and efficiently implement these sponsored projects in
Armenia. During the first 18 months of this campaign, we significantly
improved the lives of our brothers and sisters in Armenia with support of
our generous donors. As each one of these projects is sponsored and
implemented, the memory of our ancestors is honored in a way that we
believe is positive and appropriate.'
The Paros 100 for 100 Projects for Prosperity develops and administers
projects throughout Armenia and Artsakh in four program categories:
Development, Education, Humanitarian and Cultural. Please consider
becoming a family sponsor of a project in memory of the Armenian
Genocide by participating in the Paros Foundation's 100 for 100
Projects for Prosperity. Visit www.parosfoundation.org. The Paros
Foundation underwrites all administrative expenses allowing all
sponsor contributions to be allocated 100% to the project. Donations
to The Paros Foundation, a 501(c) 3 private foundation, are
tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
Formally launched in 2006, The Paros Foundation supports six exemplary
local NGOs in Armenia with contributions of quality rent-free program
space, operating funds and human resource support. To honor the upcoming
centennial of the Armenian Genocide, The Paros Foundation launched the
Paros 100 for 100 Projects for Prosperity in October of 2011. With an
aggressive goal of identifying, vetting, fundraising for and ultimately
implementing 100 special projects, The Paros Foundation and its staff in
Armenia and the United States are quickly earning a reputation as the `go
to' organization to oversee small and medium-sized project implementation
in Armenia. For more information and to get involved visit
