Los Angeles, January 8, 2009 - In a letter dated December 22, 2009, The Lincy Foundation approved a contribution in the amount of $150,000 to the Tekeyan Cultural Association Arshag Dickranian Armenian School, enclosing a check in full payment.


"We are overjoyed and very grateful to the Board Members of The Lincy Foundation for responding to our grant applications in such a timely and generous manner", said George K. Mandossian, chairman of the School Board of Trustees.


Arshag Dickranian School has long been listed as a beneficiary of The Lincy Foundation, its latest gift constituting the eleventh of such contributions. In June 2008, the foundation's president Mr. Jay Rakow and senior vice president Mr. Harut Sassounian visited the school. The two guests spent more than an hour meeting with the school trustees, gathering first hand information about the school's daily activities and touring the campus.


The Lincy Foundation has long earned world wide acclaim for its diverse and exemplary benevolence throughout the United States and Armenia.


Located at 1200 North Cahuenga Blvd., Los Angeles, the TCA Arshag Dickranian Armenian School is a federally tax exempt, Pre-K to 12th grade private educational institution. Visit www.dickranianschool.org for more information.
