How Does Freerice Work?

Private sponsors match the rice grain donations generated within Freerice, triggering a financial payment to WFP. This money goes into the pot of "greatest needs" to support the organization's ongoing emergencies. 100% of all funds generated via Freerice go to the World Food Programme. Freerice does not earn or keep any money it raises.

Freerice and the Sustainable Development Goals

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are intended to guide global policies and shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path by the year 2030. Sustainable development is at the core of WFP's work, and Freerice helps contribute to several SDGs, including Zero Hunger and Quality Education.
