The Cafesjian Family Foundation (CFF) has engaged a leading philanthropic and fundraising consultancy to conduct a feasibility study for the Armenian Genocide Museum and Memorial in Washington. 

The decision follows the recent conclusion of lengthy legal proceedings around the Washington properties intended for the project, reported The Armenian Reporter.

Kathleen Cafesjian Baradaran, chair of the CFF, noted that the feasibility study is a required first step for the project of this scale.

“The study will serve as the foundation for an international fundraising campaign to make the dream of the museum and memorial a reality,” she said. “The goal is both to renovate and reimagine the downtown Washington location, where the story of Armenians will be told to the current and future generations.”
