WHY TO GIVE

The founding of the ADA has already made history in Azerbaijan. The most historic accomplishments of ADA, however, are yet to come. This is why philanthropic giving and financial partnership with the ADA presents such an enormous opportunity to Azerbaijan. Given its unique and politically significant location, its one-of-a-kind curriculum and an early precedent in attracting the best academic minds in the world, the ADA is unrivaled among institutions of higher learning for the promise it holds.
 
ADA is a vision of future brought to life. Our vision and strategy are based on four pillars: Global Leadership, Innovative Learning, Responsible Citizenship and Thriving Location. Supporting ADA means supporting these four pillars. 

Prepare Next Generation of Global Leaders

ADA prepares innovative global leaders in the field of international affairs and business, who are committed to making a difference in the region and throughout the world. We offer knowledge with global breadth and depth. We have started as a national school, but aspire to become a global brand. As more students enroll and our academic village begins to thrive, a cultural phenomenon is growing as well, promising to shine like a light in the heart of Baku. For both students and faculty, the ADA emphasizes both democratic collaboration and the strength and unique contributions of the individual. In other words, this new, smart and green campus is fast becoming the most fertile intellectual ground preparing the next generation of global leaders. 


Sustain Innovative Learning

ADA’s world-class academic programs, which are attracting the best and the brightest, are making the Academy a clear intellectual epicenter in the region. Students at ADA learn not just from professors, they also learn from their diverse group of peers. Together, they work with instructors as team-mates in a collaborative and open environment where the flow of ideas is highly encouraged and valued. ADA is a culture of collaboration, teamwork, analytical thinking, critical reasoning and strategic planning. The school has begun to make its mark, spreading innovation in Azerbaijan’s education system and capturing the attention of interested parties all over the world.  

Cultivate Social Responsibility

As ADA prepares future leaders for a changing world, the school is playing a guiding role in bringing change to Azerbaijan itself. Through its innovative learning model, groundbreaking research and dedication to giving back to the community, ADA is fast becoming a potent force for training new minds and developing new ideas critical to the young democracy’s development. We share philosophy of worldwide education and encourage principles of responsible citizenship.

Build a Thriving Location

ADA’s singular focus on international affairs and business in an increasingly strategic region makes it unique among institutions of higher learning. Baku and ADA are both a living laboratory and will remain so for many years to come. In this thriving, cosmopolitan city and school, students feel they are part of a groundbreaking, transformational change in Azerbaijan as the ADA quickly becomes a new element in the national identity and on the international map. ADA thrives in concert with the capital city of Azerbaijan. 

Supporting ADA means supporting education and research, but also supporting an influential center of free-thinking and individual accomplishment. The leaders produced by this institution will go on to do great good in the global community, and they will forever be connected to the campus in Baku where they worked together and learned with some of the greatest minds in international business, economics and politics.  


The ADA Foundation is the lifeblood of the ADA. This is an ambitious and worthy goal, and we hope you will join us in its pursuit.
