The King George Community Foundation was named in honour of a great state leader, who was a son of Leo I (Lev I) and a grandson of King Daniel (Danylo). The First Galicia King, George (Yuriy) was at the same time Great Duke of Kyivsky, Volodymyr-Volynsky, Halytsky, Lutsky, and Dorohochynsky dukedom.
