The Gift for Humanity Begins with You: A More Meaningful Way to Give This Holiday Season

The Zoryan Institute’s 2025 Holiday Campaign

The current global news cycle of conflicts in Russia, Ukraine, Sudan, Nagorno-Karabakh and the Middle-East can be depressing and overwhelming, making holiday shopping seem trivial. 

In view of this, the Zoryan Institute has taken the initiative to alleviate the pain of holiday shopping by acting as a means of expediting your well wishes to your friends, colleagues and loved ones with a Christmas or Season’s Greeting card.

Our Give a Gift for Humanity campaign allows you to make a meaningful impact on behalf of someone you care about. By donating to the Institute, you can fulfill your holiday giving spirit in a way that makes a real difference to support scholarship and programming on human rights.

For each donation received this holiday season, the Institute will send a personalized thank-you card to the recipient of your choice, featuring a special message written by you, while providing you with a tax-deductible receipt. Your gift, whether it is $5, $10, or $15, joining with hundreds of others, will create the strength, stability, and hope for our Institute’s mission. 


If you wish to give a physical gift to your friend in addition to your card, a donation of $25 to $50 will include a Zoryan Institute lapel pin. For donations of $50 to $150, they will also receive a copy of either the Diaspora journal or Genocide Studies International (at your choice). And yes, you can even gift these to yourself!

When we come together this holiday season, hope follows. Together, we can bring awareness and education to even the darkest places.

From all of us at the Zoryan Institute, we wish you a merry Christmas and happy holidays and hope this season brings peace, hope, and a deeper reminder of our shared humanity across the world.
