Why Give?
Why is your donation important?
As "Unified Young Armenians" strives to meet the challenges faced by the Armenian community and especially the Armenian youth, community support and resources are increasingly needed to continue our mission. Unlike other youth groups that are dependent on various parent organizations, we at UYA have enjoyed independent policy making. One of the chief reasons for this independence is because people have believed the need for an independent organization as UYA and has provided the funding for it.
While most non-profits have paid staff and leadership, UYA does not. None of our members, from the leadership to those who have just joined us, recieve any financial compensation from the Organization. We believe that every single dollar that comes into the Organization must serve furthering the mission of UYA. This is why time and again, we have proven that using our meager financial resources, we can do wonders. Allow us to be more concrete.
What we have accomplished:
As an example of cost effective operation, with less than $300/month we have provided cultural and linguistic education to over 60 Armenian teens. We have fought for and secured millions of dollars worth of American media coverage for Genocide related matters, and specifically coverage for Armenian Genocide. We have organized the first English-Armenian Glendale City Council forum in Glendale's history providing a forum for great civic participation of the Armenian population, and the opportunity for the various candidates to come and interact with the Armenian voter.
Our Pledge
We would like to ask all those individuals and businesses who understand the importance of the work that we do to join us in supporting UYA. You can become a general sponsor or sponsor a specific project, or event. You can also become an in-kind sponsor by providing your services to UYA. We pledge that each and every cent donated to UYA will be spent honestly, transparently, and efficiently. With your help, we will give the Armenian youth the chance to express themselves and be heard. With your assistance, we will fight current and historical injustices. With YOU on our side, we will make a better future for us.
