Frequently Asked Questions

The Rachael Ray Foundation™ is a private foundation fully funded by the proceeds from the sale of Nutrish™. The Foundation was launched to help Rachael better support the causes she cares for most such as 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. So many animals around the country need help, and through The Rachael Ray Foundation™, together we can make a real difference in the lives of so many four-legged friends.

Through February, more than $56 million have been donated to animal charities and other organizations that do good for animals through The Rachael Ray Foundation™ and its predecessor entity. The funds are used for care, medical supplies, treatments and more.
