In 2020 a group of professionals living in different countries around the world, originally from Azerbaijan, came together to discuss how to help the community and have an impact. We discovered that while many people were eager to help, the necessary infrastructure for getting this help to where it is most needed was missing. The seemingly simple task of sending money to charitable organizations or individuals was cumbersome and costly. Our Honorary Founding Members, outstanding professionals with diverse careers from all over the world, decided to take on this challenge and work to provide humanitarian relief to the most vulnerable people in Azerbaijan in a sustainable, transparent, and efficient way.
We have built an effective and transparent philanthropic organization with the necessary infrastructure to deliver your contribution to people who need it in the most impactful way. Our movement brings together outstanding people, focused on creating an exemplary, best in class philanthropic organization dedicated to helping people in Azerbaijan. We are committed to full transparency and the highest standards of governance and accountability. Our core principles guide our efforts.
By visiting our donation page. We offer several ways to donate, and are working to add more. In addition to one-time donations, we have also made it possible for donors to commit to recurring donations.
Please fill out this form to sign up to be a member.
When making a donation, you can choose a specific program to support. We will publish regular and up to date reports about our activities, performance, and impact on our webpage. All our donors are welcome to participate in the governance of FA. We are working to develop a platform that enables direct interaction between some donors and recipients when both parties are in agreement.
Potential beneficiaries for each program will be evaluated with pre-specified criteria. When confirmed by our local office and/or partners, support under each FA program will be extended to beneficiaries who need it most. Some of our programs will have mentoring or matching features, so donors who have interest can directly interact with beneficiaries. We will publish selection criteria for each program in our reports.
We will partner with other philanthropic and humanitarian organizations as well as public agencies to deliver our programs on the ground effectively. Initially, we plan to rely mostly on reputable and tested local partners with experience working in communities. Over time, FA will build capability and infrastructure to deliver select programs itself.
