The Yevgeny Girel Orphans Foundation, Incorporated (YGOF) was founded in 2004 in memory of Yevgeny Girel, co-founder of the Adopt-A-Child International, Incorporated adoption agency and life long advocate for Russian Orphans.

The Foundation's mission is to provide support to children living in orphanages, and to assist young adults who were not adopted as they prepare to live independently. An estimated 600,000 children currently call Russian orphanages home. Our goal is to improve their lives and living conditions, to provide help for today, hope for tomorrow.

The Yevgeny Girel Orphans Foundation, Inc. is a not for profit organization under IRS code 501(c) (3).
