Projects & Beneficiaries
Tekeyan Centre Fund carries out projects in cultural, educational and social fields. Both the projects and beneficiaries of the Fund are selected by the Board of Trustees of the Fund as well as by the Project Implementation Commission, appointed by the latter.
NGOs, cultural, educational, scientific and sports institutions, as well as in some cases physical entities are among the beneficiaries of Tekeyan Centre Fund. The beneficiaries can receive assistance either in a lump sum or within the framework of one programme or in a long-term perspective within the framework of one or several projects.
Potential beneficiaries submit information regarding their organizations together with project descriptions, according to which the Board carries out the selection.
Tekeyan Centre Fund urges all those persons and organizations that are committed to the development and prosperity of Armenia to support the development of Armenian culture, education and science. The Fund also looks forward to cooperation with benefactors and donors with respect to sponsorship of projects.
The Tekeyan Cultural Association of Armenia as well as Vahan Tekeyan schools located in different regions of Armenia, is among the main beneficiaries of the Tekeyan Centre. In the nearest future various new projects and beneficiaries, including branches of the Tekeyan Cultural Association abroad will join the list.
The Tekeyan Cultural Association of Armenia is one in a number of similar organizations in 17 countries all over the world that was initially founded in Beirut in 1947. Its activities in Armenia launched in 1990. The Association has its important and unique place in the cultural and social life of Armenia. The Tekeyan Cultural Association is especially notable due to the diversity and significance of the projects and events that it carries out, among which “Vahan Tekeyan” Annual and “Haigashen Ouzounian” Biennial Awards Presentations are especially worth mentioning. The TCA of Armenia also organizes book presentations and exhibitions as well as events to honour prominent cultural workers, scholars, public and political figures.
Since 2009 the assistance to the TCA Armenia by Tekeyan Centre Fund has significantly enlarged as far as the scale and contents of the projects are concerned. While being the TC Fund beneficiary, the TCA holds almost all its events, award ceremonies, meetings and presentations at Tekeyan Centre.
In 2010 Tekeyan Centre Fund intends to realize a number of educational, cultural and sports programs involving Vahan Tekeyan schools located in various regions of Armenia. The project will be carried out by stages within the whole year. It aims at not only strengthening the ties between Tekeyan schools and uniting them but also bringing the problems of Armenian schools to the attention of Armenian and Diasporan society.
Within the framework of the projects of 2010 Tekeyan Centre Fund is planning to assist Tekeyan schools in providing the schoolchildren with books, to organize interscholastic competitions and sporting contests, painting and modeling exhibitions, dance and song contests, summer camps and many other events.
