Individuals and corporations may donate material items, called in-kind donations, to FAR. All in-kind donations (with the exception of medicine) that would be needed, useful, and valuable to the people of Armenia and Karabagh are welcome.

To ensure an efficient and timely transaction, from the collection of goods to customs clearance in Armenia , interested persons should contact Arto Vorperian prior to making plans for the commodities.

FAR accepts in-kind donations by the container-load. We must strictly abide by this policy because the financial and personnel cost of receiving, sorting, and transporting goods, as well as ensuring the quality and cleanliness of donated items is very high. Shipping containers are 20' and 40' in length and approximately 8' wide and high. Under special circumstances, FAR will agree to other quantities of goods.

To the greatest extent possible, FAR purchases necessary items in Armenia. This process helps channel money into the local economy, and thus aids the community. If you have other questions, please contact Arto Vorperian at (212) 889-5150.
