Fund the next one.

Every SASTIC project starts the same way: an Armenian founder or researcher with something real, and a first check that lets them build it. Members' dues fund our pipeline - your donation lets us say yes more often.

Why give to SASTIC

Selective

Members reviewed 146 projects and backed 19. Your money follows a working group of engineers and scientists, not a marketing budget.

Accountable

SASTIC is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a registered NGO in Armenia. Every funded project is published and tracked here - and if a startup succeeds, returns flow back to SASTIC, not to individuals.

Direct

Grants and investments go to the teams themselves - Bazoomq Space Research Lab, TACTUN, ArmBionics, Real School Vanadzor - not through intermediaries.

Fund an entire project

For gifts at the scale of a whole project, SASTIC keeps the names of the house of Sassoun:

Founder of the house Sanasar $10,000 Funds one project, end to end The Lion of Sassoun Mets Mher $25,000 Funds one project, end to end The hero's gift The hero of the epic Sasuntsi Davit $50,000 Funds one project, end to end

These gifts get a direct line to the board and a say in which pillar they fund. Talk to the founder

Common questions

Is my donation tax-deductible?

SASTIC is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit; donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You'll receive a receipt by email.

Can I direct my gift to a specific project or area?

For directed gifts - a project, a pillar, or a program - contact us and we'll set it up together.

Should I donate or become a member?

Honestly: if you're an Armenian professional in science, tech, finance or law, join instead - your expertise is worth more than your money. Donations are for everyone else who wants this work to exist.

Can I give from Armenia or in AMD?

Donations are charged in USD; your bank converts automatically. For local options, get in touch.
