Since 2004, the Children of Armenia Fund (COAF) has improved living conditions in Armenias underserved rural areas, including educational and social advancements in 60+ communities across 6 regions, making a lasting impact on the lives of 107,000+ Armenians. Revitalizing Armenia begins with strengthening education and broadening the opportunities of the nations children, ensuring a forward-thinking, globally competitive citizenry. This understanding propelled the creation of the COAF SMART initiative, a comprehensive and replicable educational model. In 2018, COAF inaugurated its flagship SMART Center in the Lori region. An innovative educational facility, the SMART Center offers 2,000+ rural children and youth from 28 communities access to essential educational resources and after-school programs. In 2021, we expanded our focus. Forming unprecedented institutional, private sector, and NGO partnerships, we took significant strides to further our programmatic work throughout Armenia. The opening of our Child and Family Services Center in Hatsik village marked a new era of our approach to rural health. We extended our network of SMART initiatives in the Lori region with new SMART Village infrastructure, designed to spur social and economic progress in 27 rural communities. During our "Home Is Calling" virtual gala, we garnered record-setting support to build SMART Centers across Armenia, starting with the Armavir Smart Center, with construction beginning in 2022. COAF supporters reached out from across the globe to offer their talents and resources to the rural Armenian community, ensuring continued advancement for Armenia's children during even these difficult times. As we look ahead, our commitment to Armenia remains steadfast and strengthened by that of our community.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
