Mission

The H. Hovnanian Family Foundation commits its support primarily to the Armenian community, both in Armenia and in the United States, and in New Jersey, with a focus on Monmouth and Ocean Counties, through existing non-profit programs and institutions that have a long-standing history in and provide value and impact to these regions of the world. In addition, where gaps exist in fulfilling its mission in these areas, the Foundation may take on initiating or running its own programs. Through grants, scholarships, and program-related investments, our primary areas of focus include education, healthcare, arts/culture, volunteerism, ecotourism, youth development, entrepreneurship, and promotion of Western values such as transparency.
