Alan K and Isabelle Derkazarian Fdn | $775K in Grants Alan K and Isabelle Derkazarian Fdn Active Philanthropy & Voluntarism Funds Individuals Belmont, MA Website 6174893215 About Alan K and Isabelle Derkazarian Fdn The Alan K and Isabelle DerKazarian Foundation concentrates support on Armenian community institutions and local civic infrastructure in the Belmont/Watertown area, plus a notable interest in dental/medical professional causes.
Grants are relatively few but sizable, often targeted to property/facility needs and professional association initiatives. The foundation appears to favor repeat, high-impact gifts to a small set of organizations tied to the founders' community and professional interests. Armenian church and community property/support (e.g., St.
James Armenian Apostolic Church) Armenian professional associations — dental/medical (e.g., Armenian International Dental Association) Local public library support and facilities (Belmont Public Library / Watertown library acquisition) Medical/dental philanthropy and education (MDS Foundation and similar groups) public libraries and congregations (church-adjacent property) healthcare institutions/patients (NICU, hospital funds) students and scholarship recipients (K–12 and postsecondary) About Alan K and Isabelle Derkazarian Fdn A defining thread in The Alan K and Isabelle DerKazarian Fdn’s grantmaking is its sustained support for Armenian institutions and property needs in the Belmont–Watertown area.
The largest recent award in the data went to the Armenian Intl Dental Association in Brookline for unrestricted support, and the foundation has also made repeated property-linked gifts to St James Armenian Apostolic Church in Watertown, including support for the acquisition of Watertown Library property adjacent to the church’s property.
Beyond Armenian community work, the foundation has backed Belmont Public Library, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, and the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research, showing a pattern of local civic, health, and cultural support.
Its recent grants range from smaller scholarship awards to larger five- and six-figure gifts, with a recurring emphasis on organizations that serve the founders’ community, education, and health-related interests. The mix of unrestricted support and project-specific funding suggests a funder that uses both flexible operating grants and targeted capital or acquisition grants to advance selected local priorities.
