Jinishian Memorial Foundation

Jinishian Memorial Foundation is a nonprofit based in Yerevan that runs programs in community development, education, economic development, civil society support, health, and what it terms relief and spiritual uplift.

Its project list covers Armenia's marzes (regions) — Ararat, Aragatsotn, Armavir, Gegharkunik, Kotayk, Lori, Shirak, Syunik, Tavush and Vayots Dzor — with additional work in Karabakh and Georgia.

The foundation also runs a debate initiative called YES, built around televised and in-person debates, and publishes a newsletter called Jottings. Armen Hakobyan serves as Managing Director.

The foundation is based in Yerevan, roughly 1 km northeast of the city center (straight-line).
