About The Mario Batali Foundation
“I firmly believe in the vast and immeasurable potential of all children and see that it often goes untapped due to easily correctable deficiencies in our social fabric.  The rights to good health, literacy and daily sustenance are inalienable to all regardless of race, creed, birthright, privilege or situation and the guarantee of these simple standards for all children is my objective.” – Mario Batali

Long before he was a household name, Mario Batali was a philanthropist.  Whether donating his time, services or dollars, Mario has been actively involved in the charities close to his heart for many years to raise awareness and support for children’s disease research and relief, and hunger relief. Prompted by these philanthropic efforts, in 2008, Mario launched the Mario Batali Foundation. The MBF strives to ensure that all children are well read, well fed and well cared for.
