In 2017 the Izmirlian Foundation financed modernization of the power supply system of the Aram Khachaturian Concert Hall in Yerevan.

One of the educational-cultural projects of the Izmirlian Foundation is the project aimed at supporting the musical school named after the famous Armenian composer Alexander Spendiaryan. Within the framework of that project, during the period from 2015 to 2016, the Izmirlian Foundation donated a collection of string and wind instruments enabling the students to develop their skills and to participate in national and international competitions.

Ararat Bank

Period : 2007 to 2016

In June 2007, the Izmirlian Foundation signed a co-financing agreement with Araratbank. The initiation of the project was stipulated by the dearth of long-term, below market rate and development oriented funds for the real sector of the economy. The program targeted supporting Armenian companies with strong potential for export and employment generation. The funds were mostly allocated to small and medium-sized enterprises.
