Our Work | Arman N Roy Foundation

OUR WORK

Our foundation fueled by Arman’s love and legacy is focused on bringing critical technology resources and skills to at-risk youth in our local communities through 3 key programs:

ARMAN’S HOPE JAR

This program is a resource ‘jar’ available to individuals and groups to request funding and support for technology projects that will positively impact youth in our local communities. The concept is simple. Anyone with a spirit of compassion can create a ripple of hope for many. Learn about our Hope Jar projects or submit a project on behalf of your community here.

HOPE NETWORK

Through this program, we partner with select organizations that have a similar missions of helping those facing extreme life hardships such as homelessness, poverty and abuse, by providing funding for technology resources and training. It will take a lot of us working together to spark hope for those who need it most, and we are proud of these incredible partners. Learn more here.

OUR PARTNERS

Covenant House New Jersey provides comprehensive residential care and related services to help New Jersey’s youth who have suffered from abuse, neglect, abandonment, homelessness, and human trafficking build positive lives for themselves. The Arman N Roy foundation is proud to be a partner on the technology front, by bringing STEM resources and skills to the youth who need it most.

DonorsChoose provides a platform so anyone can help a classroom in need, moving us closer to a nation where students in every community have the tools and experiences they need for a great education. Since 2000, they have funded over 1.6 million projects helping over 39 million students. To date, the Arman N Roy foundation has funded seven technology-related projects in different New Jersey and Pennsylvania schools serving students from high poverty backgrounds dealing with broken families, learning disabilities, and violence.

AnnieCannons is a coding boot camp and software development shop connecting survivors of human trafficking with sustainable, high-income earning opportunities. Through AnnieCannons’ software development training program and post-graduation contracting opportunities, students gain access to fulfilling work that allows them to provide for their financial needs comfortably, and sustain a lifetime free of exploitation. To accomplish this objective, AnnieCannons employs a phased educational strategy that empowers its students to learn technology skills, apply these skills in student-led development projects, and earn incomes as subcontractors to clients that AnnieCannons sources and manages.

The supportive services Eva’s Village in Paterson, NJ provides to homeless, addicted mothers and their children have the goal of not only addressing their immediate need for food security and safe shelter, but to guide them as they progress through programs that address long term solutions to poverty and homelessness. For homeless children and children from addictive families, who are arguably the most vulnerable segment of those from disadvantaged backgrounds, the chance to live, study, and play in a safe environment that fosters educational success greatly increases their chances of breaking the cycle of poverty.
