The International Armenian Literary Alliance is turning 4! IALA has grown in remarkable ways over the last four years, and we hope you will support us as we continue to expand our programming and empower Armenian writers.

Since our launch in 2021, IALA has grown a diverse global community of Armenian writers and their champions. With your support throughout the past four years, we have created access, connections and programming on an unprecedented level for the Armenian literary community.

IALA has:

Provided professional and creative guidance to 48 emerging writers through our annual Mentorship Program;
Given 17 high school poets a chance to publish and perform their work on an international stage through our Young Armenian Poets Awards;
Hosted more than 25 readings and discussions with Armenian authors and publishers, such as Literary Lights, our annual reading series in collaboration with NAASR and the Zohrab Center;
Awarded 5 annual grants for new works of creative writing and translations;
Launched three vibrant chapters in Los Angeles, New York City and Yerevan;
Helped dozens of authors market their publications, which have gone on to win awards, and advocated for Armenian literature and culture in a variety of media and across continents;
Granted over 35 free memberships to writers, ensuring access to programs for those unable to afford them.

In celebration of our fourth anniversary, we are hoping to raise $4,000. You can select any of the tiers below to support a specific activity of ours:

$25 to promote a new book
$60 to grant free membership to a writer in need
$200 to pay a writer to participate in one of our events
$500 to run a literary event featuring our writers
