National Foundation of Science and Advanced Technologies (NFSAT) carries out the actual purchase and distribution of school materials, ensuring that every dollar reaches its proper destination. The mission of NFSAT is tightly connected to that of Act For Armenia, and as a result the members of NFSAT have often gone out of their way to make sure that the AFA-sponsored schools receive their aid promptly and have on many occasions waived many expenses, including transportation costs and supplies.
The National Foundation of Science and Advanced Technologies is a non-profit organization established in 1997, according to a legislative act of the Republic of Armenia.
NFSAT's mission is to accelerate the development of the scientific and technological potential of Armenia through competitive grants. This will result in reputable and excellence-driven scientific output and help advance Armenia's economy via new technological innovations.
It is the firm conviction at NFSAT that a crucial and incontestable element which will decide Armenia's healthy development as a nation and its economic viability in the future is the quality of the science it produces. This implies that no effort must be spared in nurturing the young scientists to adopt and rejoice in competitive research and a merit-based promotion system.
NFSAT supports scientific activities in Armenia through a merit-based competitive grant system where adherence to the law, transparency of process and equal consideration to all applicants, regardless of status, position or legacy, are the guiding principles.
Armenian Engineers and Scientists of America (AESA) provides Act For Armenia with assistance in managing our financial matters. AESA enables tax-deductible donations, helps route finances to Armenia, and provides other accounting services. AESA is also dedicated to the mission of Act For Armenia, and its members give AFA much needed support.
Armenian Engineers and Scientists of America, Inc. is committed to addressing the professional, technical, and scientific needs of fellow Armenians throughout the world.
The Armenian Engineers and Scientists of America, Inc. was founded in 1983 in Los Angeles, California as a non-partisan, non-sectarian, and philanthropic organization to address the professional, technical, and scientific needs of fellow Armenians throughout the world.
