Although both of the Reys have passed away—Hans in 1977 and Margret in 1996— George lives on in the Curious George Foundation. Established in 1989, this foundation funds programs for children that share his irresistible qualities—ingenuity, opportunity, determination, and curiosity in learning and exploring. Much consideration is given to programs that benefit animals, through preservation as well as the prevention of cruelty to animals. Another area of giving centers around community outreach that emphasizes the importance of family, from counseling to peer support groups that help strengthen ties to keep family units strong.
His adventures have been translated into many languages, including Japanese, French, Afrikaans, Portuguese, Swedish, German, Chinese, Danish, and Norwegian.
