YRF began in 1989 as the grassroots effort of a few committed individuals with a desire to improve the available academic opportunities for the underprivileged in Israel, and has since grown to become a prominent implementer of supplemental education programs. The organization is governed by two Boards, one in the United States, and one in Israel. For a listing of the Israeli Board, please visit www.yrf.org/il.

Donations from YRF's US Board of Directors cover 100% of costs associated with running the New York office, ensuring that all additional funds the organization receives are applied directly to education projects in Israel, not overhead.
