Mission:
The Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian relief to orphaned Armenian children. Working with a loyal donor base and a trusted network of partners, SOAR distributes clothing, educational supplies, medicine, and other essential resources to orphaned Armenian children throughout the world.
Results:
SOAR continues to achieve significant growth in two primary areas: distributions and expansion. In 2006, our inaugural year, we made $59,700.00 in distributions to our target population. In 2007, our distributions increased to $88,245.00. In 2008, we crossed a major threshold and distributed $102,300.00, and in 2009 and 2010, we improved to $111,508.00 and $117,968.00, respectively. In 2011, we made nearly $360,000.00 in distributions, and, in 2012, our distributions will reach $450,000.00, a nearly 900% increase from our inaugural year.
In addition, while SOAR's National Board of Directors and National Board of Trustees are based in the suburbs of Philadelphia, SOAR has launched 27 Chapters since 2007. The Chapters provide us with a critical localized presence worldwide.
