The “Green Rock” Charitable Foundation is dedicated to shaping Dilijan into a vibrant model of inclusive and sustainable development. As the philanthropic arm of the socially conscious Green Rock company, the Foundation works to transform the city through initiatives rooted in three pillars: culture, sustainability, and community development.
Its mission centers on empowering local residents—both long-time citizens and newcomers—by providing access to high-quality education, preserving cultural heritage through innovation, promoting environmental responsibility, and strengthening community infrastructure. Notable projects include the launch of Apicius Armenia, a hospitality school in partnership with Apicius Florence; Dilijan’s first Virtual Reality cultural exhibition; an eco-responsible taxi service; and the town’s inaugural Regional Tourism Forum.
Guided by a deep respect for place and people, the Green Rock Foundation fosters collaboration among local communities, public institutions, NGOs, and international partners. Its work not only uplifts Dilijan but also sets a precedent for sustainable small-town development across the region. Through hands-on impact, inclusive partnerships, and visionary leadership, the Foundation is ensuring that Dilijan thrives as a place to live, create, and belong.
