Making a Difference for Rhinos

Who we are.

At Rhinory Foundation, our passion for rhinos runs deep. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a singular focus: to protect and conserve all five rhino species. Inspired by the pioneering model of our namesake, Rhinory, a winery and rhino sanctuary nestled in the Texas Hill Country, we believe that businesses have a vital role to play in conservation.

We are driven by the belief that collaboration is key to lasting impact. We partner with leading conservation organizations, community leaders, and passionate individuals around the globe to implement strategic initiatives that address the complex challenges facing rhinos today.

Our vision.

A world where all five rhino species thrive in their natural habitats, free from the threats of poaching, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict.

Our values.

Collaboration

We believe that lasting change requires working together. We foster strong partnerships with organizations, communities, and individuals who share our commitment to rhino conservation.

Impact

We are driven by results. We prioritize initiatives that have a measurable and positive impact on rhino populations and their habitats.

Sustainability

We are committed to long-term solutions. We support programs that promote sustainable livelihoods, environmental stewardship, and the responsible use of resources.

Transparency

We believe in open and honest communication. We are accountable to our donors and partners, and we strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical conduct.

Three partners. Two continents.

We chose them for the work they were already doing. We keep choosing them for how they do it.

Care for Wild

South Africa

The world’s largest orphan rhino sanctuary, and home to Hercules, the Southern White Rhino calf Rhinory sponsors.

Their team rescues orphaned and injured rhinos, cares for them around the clock, and releases them back into the wild once they’re ready. We support Care for Wild for that patience, and for the way they bring neighboring communities into the work through education and jobs.

International Rhino Foundation

Way Kambas · Indonesia

A leading organization dedicated to rhino conservation worldwide, and the team that runs the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary.

For more than 30 years, IRF has protected all five species across Africa and Asia, with anti-poaching teams, habitat work and field science. We support them because their programs are grounded in science and built alongside the governments and communities who share the land with rhinos.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy

Laikipia · Kenya

Home to the last two Northern White Rhinos, and to Liora, the Eastern Black Rhino calf Rhinory sponsors. Conservation Circle members named her.

Ol Pejeta Conservancy’s 171 rangers and rhino monitors watch over 233 rhinos, and the conservancy has gone eight consecutive years without losing one to poaching. Protecting a single black rhino there costs over $10,000 a year. We think that care is worth every bit of it.

The Foundation is the part of Rhinory that leaves the property. Blake, our Southern White Rhino, is the living link between the two. He grazes a few steps from where you taste, and part of your afternoon travels a very long way.
