YAŞAT Fondu

What YAŞAT Fondu does

YAŞAT Fondu is a state-established charitable endowment fund created by Presidential decree in December 2020 in the Republic of Azerbaijan and headquartered in Baku. It provides supplementary financial, medical, educational, and social support to families of martyrs (şəhid ailələri) and disabled veterans (əlilliyi müəyyən olunmuş hərbi qulluqçular) affected by Azerbaijan's territorial integrity defense operations, and to state employees disabled in liberated territories and their families. The fund operates under the governance of the State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations under the President of Azerbaijan (ASAN Service) and is overseen by a Presidential-appointed 11-member Supervisory Council (Himayəçilik Şurası) comprising People's Writers, People's Artists, parliamentary deputies, academics, and Paralympic champions.

The platform's core technology stack is a government-managed portal at yashat.gov.az providing online beneficiary applications and a transparent Tableau reporting dashboard (/report/tableau), with payment processing routed through the ASAN Pay system (supporting Azerbaijani citizens, foreign nationals, anonymous donors, diaspora payments, and giftable donation certificates). Donation channels include an online portal, free SMS shortcode 8110 (operational across Azercell, Bakcell, and Nar), bank transfers, and physical payment terminals. Programmatic products include the annual YAŞAT Charity Marathon co-organised with İctimai Televiziya (İTV) and the Zəfər Bazaar venue, the multi-week YAŞAT Camp rehabilitation/recreation programme with ASAN Volunteers, the London-based YAŞAT Summer School with bp sponsorship and AZAL aviation partnership, and a Qəhrəman Doğum Günləri (Hero Birthdays) Portal honouring fallen soldiers. Beneficiary intake runs through the portal and the 8110 call center, with delivery executed via formal partnerships with the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, the State Examination Center, and TABIB.

The business model is purely voluntary donation-funded: the fund does not charge fees, does not sell services, and is not investment- or trade-backed. Inflows consist of contributions from Azerbaijani citizens, diaspora members, and physical/legal entities; corporate sponsorship (bp, AZAL, Caspian Entertainment, local SMEs) supplements cash donations in-kind for programmes. Cumulative donations reported on the homepage total AZN 98,327,331.04 with AZN 96,338,359.28 attributed to individual supporters and AZN 1,988,971.76 of remaining balance. The organisation runs a lean headcount of 11 personnel and is anchored institutionally through its state-foundation status rather than a commercial growth engine.

• Pat Tillman Foundation: US-based foundation providing scholarships and support to military veterans and families. Comparable in offering educational assistance to a defined veteran/family cohort through donation-funded programs.
• Fisher House Foundation: US-based charity supporting military families by providing housing and financial assistance during medical treatment. Comparable in providing welfare-style support to military-affiliated families via partnerships with healthcare providers.
• Heydar Aliyev Foundation: State-backed Azerbaijani charitable foundation operating under the Heydar Aliyev Heritage Center with a broader humanitarian, educational, and cultural mandate. Most directly comparable peer in terms of geography, state backing, donation-driven model, and Azerbaijani institutional context.
• Soldier On (Australia): Australian charity providing holistic support to wounded veterans and their families, including financial assistance, rehabilitation, and welfare programs. Comparable in serving a defined veteran cohort with multi-channel donation revenue.
• Mehmetçik Vakfı (Turkish Armed Forces Foundation): Turkish charitable foundation supporting soldiers, veterans, and martyrs' families with financial, educational, and social assistance. Closely comparable mandate (military-affiliated beneficiary support) and regional context (post-Soviet/Turkic).

Others

• ASAN Service (State Agency for Public Service and Social Innovations): YAŞAT's parent government agency providing citizen services and social innovation. While the parent rather than a peer, it is the closest institutional analogue in mission (public-service delivery) and infrastructure (multi-channel citizen engagement).

Broad incumbents

• Azerbaijan Red Crescent Society: National humanitarian organization in Azerbaijan with a broader mission across disaster relief, health, and social welfare. Comparable as a domestic humanitarian institution but with a wider scope than YAŞAT's veteran-specific focus.
