About Our Foundation

Animals make our homes warmer, make our hearts bigger, make us better humans.

Our Mission: Improve Lives

Fully funded by proceeds from the sale of Rachael Ray™ Nutrish®, The Rachael Ray Foundation was launched by Rachael to better support the causes she cares for most.

Our goal is to help as many two-legged and four-legged family members as possible by working with organizations across the country…

Who We Help

Helping Animals in Need

Every year, millions of animals enter shelters throughout the U.S. in need of essential care and forever homes. RRF funds organizations across the country who work to improve the lives of shelter animals and other animals in need.  In addition, the Foundation makes funds available for emergency situations and disaster relief efforts where help for animals is urgently needed.
