United Armenian Fund says it ends operations
The Board of Directors of the United Armenian Fund announced that the non-profit organization ends its operations on November 30, following the recent passing away of its main benefactor, Kirk Kerkorian, preceded by the shuttering of his Lincy Foundation. The leaders of UAF member organizations expressed their gratitude to Mr. Kerkorian for his generosity, who through his Lincy Foundation, contributed tens of millions of dollars over the past quarter century to fund the UAF’s operations, including the shipment of hundreds of millions of dollars of relief supplies to Armenia and Artsakh by air and sea. In the past 26 years of its operations, the UAF has delivered to Armenia and Artsakh a total of $720 million worth of relief supplies on board 159 airlifts and 2,260 sea containers.
