The IRRI Foundation is a registered charity in Hong Kong to facilitate and encourage support for rice research—particularly the work of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)—from private and public donors in Hong Kong, Asia, and around the world.

The IRRI Foundation supports rice research to reduce poverty and hunger and improve the health and nutrition of poor rice farmers and consumers while protecting the environment. The IRRI Foundation also facilitates scientific collaboration and educational programs, sponsorships, and partnerships through conferences, events, and publishing opportunities related to the promotion of rice and rice research.
