Jacques Pépin Foundation received $10,000 to support alumni of the foundational training as they transition into Tier 2 and Tier 3 internships.

The Jacques Pépin Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit, advancing Chef Jacques Pépin’s love of culinary arts and education and supporting the teaching of culinary skills through various channels to many communities. Our mission is to create opportunities for culinary education to benefit society. We partner with community organizations that offer culinary training to adults with high barriers to employment — including those impacted by the justice system, those experiencing homelessness, individuals in recovery, or those that have been underserved — to expand access to learning and to foster workforce pathways through the transformational power of cooking. You can support the foundation's work through membership and direct donations on our website.
