How to donate to us
Online card payment
At the moment, we are unable to accept online card payments. We are working on adding this donation method. In the meantime, you can use any of the options described below.
Boosty
On our Boosty page, you can make a one-time donation or sign up for recurring donations. Payments by card are accepted, including cards issued in Russia.
The Boosty page is only accessible from Russian IP addresses. We have not been able to determine the reason for this restriction.
Patreon
On our Patreon page, you can subscribe to recurring donations using Armenian and foreign cards, except for cards issued in Russia.
The Telcell Wallet app
If you have a Telcell Wallet e-wallet, you can send us a donation from your wallet balance or a linked bank card. No fee is charged for this transfer. In the Telcell Wallet app, simply search for Ethos Armenia.
Cash donation via a Telcell Terminal
You can make a cash donation through any Telcell terminal. No fee is charged for the transfer. In the list of recipients, select “Charitable organizations” — “Ethos Armenia” (it seemed to be near the end of the list, though that may have changed).
Bank transfer to an AMD account in Armenia
If you have an account with an Armenian bank, you can donate to us in Armenian drams by bank transfer. In your bank’s app, select “Transfer to account” (or a similarly named option).
In the payment order form, you need to fill in the bank details (copy them from our donation methods widget):
- Account number
- 24115039234800
- Recipient name
- Էտոս Բարեգործական Հիմնադրամ
- Payment purpose
- Նվիրաբերություն (Donation)
Banks usually allow you to specify the payment purpose in Armenian or English — both are correct.
If you want to donate to a specific fundraiser or purpose, indicate this in the payment purpose, for example “Donation for Varya Mkhitaryan”.
Bank transfer in rubles via SPFS
We have a ruble account at VTB Armenia to which you can transfer a donation in rubles from any Russian bank except Raiffeisen. Some banks have their own form for international transfers via SPFS, for example Sberbank. In that case, you will need account details identical to those normally used for SWIFT transfers.
- Recipient account
- 16062007034401
- Recipient bank
- ЗАО «ВТБ Армения»
- Recipient bank SWIFT code
- ARMJAM22
- Payment type
- Пожертвование
- Payment purpose
- DONATION
If there is no form for transfers to Armenia, the donation can be sent to a Russian correspondent bank. This is done as a regular transfer by bank details, as if you were paying a Russian organization.
The payment details can be copied from our payment widget. We will also soon add a QR code generator for payments.
Please note: the Armenian bank VTB Armenia is listed as the recipient in the transfer details. In the payment purpose, write «Для выдачи БЛАГОТВОРИТЕЛЬНЫЙ ФОНД ЭТОС, счёт 16062007034401, пожертвование». This instructs the bank to credit the received funds to our account during manual processing of the incoming transfer.
Bank transfer in USD or EUR via SWIFT
We have USD and EUR accounts to which funds can be transferred via SWIFT. We cannot provide one universal instruction, so you will need to clarify the transfer process with the bank where your account is held. All transfer details are listed in our payment widget.
