Abstract
One of the most important directions of the state family policy is the elimination of orphanhood. The optimal solution to the problem seems to be the deinstitutionalization of the sphere of orphanhood and the arrangement of family life for children. Studies show that the measures taken by the state have a limited effect which actualizes the search for opportunities to expand the number of participants in preventive work and build a system of interdepartmental interaction. In this context, the purpose of the study was to determine the role of non-profit organizations involved in the prevention of orphanhood at the regional level. The study confirmed that they work effectively with orphans and foster families, and the grant support system has a positive effect on increasing the number and variety of projects implemented in the field of orphanhood prevention.
