The International Rhino Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code. Donations to IRF are tax-deductible. More than 78% of our funds go directly to on-the-ground rhino conservation programs in Africa and Asia.
2021 ANNUAL REPORT
In spite of the challenges, IRF expanded our programs to Nepal working with local communities to restore rhino habitats, rhinos returned to Gonarezhou National Park in Zimbabwe, and critical activities to save the highly imperiled Sumatran rhino continued. Your generous donations kept rangers in the field, funded new technology in the fight against poaching, and helped local communities that have joined efforts to improve habitats for rhinos and other wildlife.
