Many Armenians want to make a huge impact in Armenia's increasingly bright future, but many don't know how they can make the biggest impact.
What if there was a way we could make a huge impact by doing something small. What if that "something small" could snowball into $240,000,000 per year donated to Armenian charities that do incredible work?
We Armenians frequently get together to eat dinner, barbecue, drink, play blot, etc. We often take a gift. What if we made a small donation to an Armenian charity instead of taking a gift?
If I invited 10 friends to my house, and they each donated $20 instead of buying me a gift, we'd raise $200.
If the following week, each of those 10 friends hosted their own events and invited 10 other friends to each event, and asked their guests to make donations instead of bringing gifts, there would be 100 friends making donations.
If those 100 friends hosted their own events the week after that, and did the same thing, there would be 1,000 friends making donations.
And so on. In the 4th week there would be 10,000 friends making donations. In the 5th week there would be 100,000 friends making donations. In the 6th week there would be 1,000,000 friends making donations.
If the average person attends 1 event per month, there would be $20,000,000 in donations each month, or $240,000,000 each year. And many of us attend far more than 1 event per month.
That kind of contribution could completely accelerate all of the incredible development that is already happening in Armenia. And we can help make it happen.
Invite your friends to to donate to any Armenian charity of their choice instead of bringing a gift
Post a photo of your event on Instagram or Facebook with the hashtag #DonateMyGiftsToArmenia and ask your friends to share your post
Encourage your friends to start doing this same thing at their own events
Remember, when you decide to host a #DonateMyGiftsToArmenia event, the impact you make is not only how much is donated at that event. Your event will hopefully cause all your guests to do this at their events, and all their guests to do it at their future events, and so on. Your impact from just one event could be enormous.
There is nothing more fulfilling than making a big impact in other people's lives. We can make that big impact together by taking this one small step.
