Program and Naming Sponsorships are Project Save’s highest recognition opportunities to create a permanent legacy in honor of your contribution. These sponsorships not only preserve Armenian heritage, they also showcase your personal – or family – commitment to our community and culture. Some sponsor options are outlined below. Contact usto explore these or other more tailored ways to make an impactful difference.

  • Name the Project Save Gallery – Leave a lasting legacy by naming Project Save’s gallery space. It’s the most public-facing part of our mission to preserve and share Armenian heritage and the overall immigrant experience. A place where exhibitions, events and programs will connect people through photography and storytelling.
  • Name the Project Save Digitization Lab – Support digitization efforts to share Project Save’s extensive backlog of collections with the public. By digitizing our archives, we ensure accessibility to research, education and storytelling for generations to come. Your naming sponsorship helps fund technology and human resources to preserve and share invaluable photographs with a global audience.
  • Sponsor Project Save Armenia – Our newest initiative empowers archivists, cultural heritage workers and photographers in Armenia through annual visits. Each year, we send archivists, curators, and photographers to hold workshops in the country. Likewise, Armenian archivists and photographers spend time at Project Save, Harvard University and the Boston Public Library. Your sponsorship makes a lasting impact on Armenian cultural institutions and creative communities.
  • Sponsor a 50th Anniversary Exhibit – Project Save 50th anniversary exhibitions will bring to life the powerful stories of Armenian heritage, identity and culture. Exhibitions are planned at Project Save and partner institutions such as the Griffin Museum, Boston Public Library and elsewhere. Partner with us to share these remarkable narratives with the world.
  • Sponsor a Research and Artist Residency – Our annual Researcher and Artist Residency program provides scholars and creatives access to Project Save’s archives to inspire discoveries. Your support helps fund resources, space and time for individuals to explore, interpret and share stories from our collection. Your investment inspires research to connect the past with the future.
  • Name the Project Save Oral History Archive – In addition to Project Save’s 100,000 original photographs, our collection includes more than 800 digitized oral history recordings, most of which have not been heard since they were recorded. The Stories Archive is a new initiative to animate these 50 years of oral histories; a multimedia project that expands our mission by preserving and sharing personal narratives, cultural heritage and historical experiences. Help us make this unparalleled resource accessible and shareable. A naming sponsorship also jumpstarts the next phase of Project Save Stories: collecting new oral histories that ensures the stories of today are part of our shared future legacy.
