“We don’t just want to throw money at it, but we want to make sure it has impact.”
In this CivilNet interview, Eric Hacopian speaks with the leadership of the H. Hovnanian Family Foundation — Edele Hovnanian, President and CEO and Gorr Sahakian, Vice President. They discuss the foundation’s legacy, its work in Armenia, and its vision for the future.
From the creation of programs such as Birthright Armenia and Hike Armenia to a new generation’s interest in investment and economic development, they discuss how philanthropy evolves across generations. They also reflect on leadership transitions, measurable impact, and building institutions that can endure for generations to come.

To the Itsahagyan person's comment here, talk about the previous presidents regims before writing about Armenia's PM Pashinyan.
Have you ever seen or condemned them before condemning Pashinyan? Do your homework well & fairly.
God bless the 3 generations of Hirayr Hovnanians family.
Thank you Mr. Hacopian for bringing-out such interesting information about them and the way they conceive projects.
Best wishes of success to them.
Hrair Hovnanian and his family have quietly done so much for past, present, and future Armenians. With very little fanfare, they have successfully carried out more than anyone or any group…and set a great example for others. Thank you.
Thank you Eric and the team for all the great work you do 🫶🏽
And what a story! Thank you for sharing all that. Truly inspiring and appreciated great guests.
The Hovnanians are a clique of establishment elites. Have they ever publicly condemned even a single crime committed by the Pashinyan regime?
Thank you so much, Hovnanian Family, for all the important work you do. I appreciate your long-term view and holding the foundation to high standards. Godspeed. ❤
Thanks Edele for staying the course with your passion and commitments. Truly inspiring.
Thank you to Hovnanian Family🙏
Thank you for the very insightful conversation!
As an HHFF’s NGO Armenian Volunteer Corps staff member, I want to emphasize that YES! the data driven approach to work is truly effective.
❤
What an incredible interview! Thank you!
Great job God bless the Hrair Hovnanian family
Thank you to Hovnanian Family!
