What Catholicosate of Armenia Major & Armenia Minor does
Mission
The Catholicosate of Armenia Major and Armenia Minor, a religious organization, is the legal entity of a new Armenian religion. It conducts its activities in countries and jurisdictions where Armenian communities live: California, the US in general, Armenia, and elsewhere, and operates the Baldasar Monastery. Via its publications unit, the Erzenka Publishing House, it is involved in preservation of the Western Armenian literary and linguistic heritage, an endangered language bordering extinction, designated as such by UNESCO, as without which our religion may not survive. The Catholicosate, via Erzenka Publishing House, is involved in research, publishing, manufacturing, distributing, and selling books for the stated purpose. It aims at the publication of mainly pre-Genocide, 19th century Western Armenian literary heritage, but mainly the Bibles and literature of our religion.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $117k to $1.3M (+1030%).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income fell $86k → $24k.
2 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CATHOLICOSATE OF ARMENIA MAJOR & ARMENIA MINOR.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 100% · 2022 63% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of CATHOLICOSATE OF ARMENIA MAJOR & ARMENIA MINOR's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $110k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
