A Legacy of Conservation.

Making a Difference for Rhinos.

At Rhinory Foundation, our passion for rhinos runs deep. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit 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 don’t do conservation alone. We fund and work alongside the organizations already on the ground: Care for Wild, the International Rhino Foundation, Ol Pejeta, and the people living in rhino range who make protection stick.
