Give the gift of Armenian literature this holiday season
Since our launch in 2021, the International Armenian Literary Alliance has grown an inspiring, supportive, diverse community of Armenian writers and their champions. With your support throughout the past three years, we have created access, connections and programming on an unprecedented level for the Armenian literary community!
- We have provided professional and creative guidance to 35 emerging writers through our annual Mentorship Program
- Given 13 high school poets a chance to publish and perform their work on an international stage through our Young Armenian Poets Awards
- Hosted more than 17 readings and discussions with Armenian authors and publishers, such as Literary Lights, our most recent collaboration with NAASR and the Zohrab Center
- Awarded annual $2,500 grants for new works of creative writing and translations;
- Helped dozens of authors market their publications, which have gone on to win awards, and advocated for Armenian literature and culture in a variety of media and across continents.
- Provided more than 23 free memberships to writers to provide access to our programs to those who can’t afford it.
To develop new programming and continue empowering Armenian writers across the world, we are hoping to raise $5,000. You can select any of the tiers below to support a specific activity of ours:
- $500 to run a literary event promoting our writers
- $100 to pay a writer to participate in one of our events
- $60 to enable an aspiring writer in need to become a IALA member for free
- $25 to promote a member’s publication
Any donation, big or small, will do wonders for us! Donate here.
If you aren’t a IALA member and wish to become one, we offer a wide range of member-only benefits which you can learn about here.
