The Mission of the Anna Astvatsaturian Foundation is to advance humanitarian, development, cultural, environmental, and educational initiatives in Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora.

Together with her loyal supporters, over a decade prior to the creation of the Foundation, Mrs. Astvatsaturian Turcotte spearheaded dozens of humanitarian, development, cultural, environmental and educational projects worldwide to support the community and to benefit the vulnerable population in Armenia and Artsakh. To maximize the impact of her work, Mrs. Astvatsaturian Turcotte took the first steps to formalize the Foundation in the spring of 2020. With the Tavush attacks in the summer of 2020 and the Artsakh War in the fall of 2020, it became apparent that the work of the Foundation was more vital to Armenia’s future than first foreseen. The 2023 ethnic cleansing of the Artsakh’s Armenian population and the humanitarian disaster that followed, left hundreds of thousands devastated. Simultaneously, Armenia, facing economic downturns and military aggression, is in need of attention and support. Then, now and in the future Anna Astvatsaturian Foundation is committed to strengthening the Armenian Nation and its people, both in the Homeland and in the Diaspora.
