Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The mission of the Armenian Church Endowment Fund ("ACEF") is to provide financial support to the Diocese, parishes, and related entities of the Armenian Apostolic Church through oversight of pooled investments under our management. ACEF's professional investment management services, with a long-term horizon and diversified asset allocation, are designed to provide financial sustainability that allows our endowed institutions, our Armenian culture, and our spirituality to thrive for generations to come.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Armenian Church Endowment Fund's ("ACEF") mission is to provide professional asset management services to the parishes and related entities of the Diocese of the Armenian Church.

  • ACEF has achieved its goal of distributing 4.5% of assets to beneficiaries each year for the last 22 consecutive years. These monies have been a stable source of funding, helping communities build or repair churches, meet their operating expenses, fund educational programs promoting Armenia's rich history and heritage, and support many other important initiatives. ACEF is proud to work with its investors to help ensure the future of the Armenian Church.

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

Other IRS files

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 SOUNK.

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.
