Organizations Filed Purposes: THE JACQUES PEPIN FOUNDATION PROMOTES JACQUE'S GENEROSITY AND PASSION FOR COOKING BY SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALS THAT SEEK, AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT CREATE PATHWAYS TO SUCESS THROUGH CULINARY PROFESSIONALISM, SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES.

The Jacques Pepin Foundation is an organization that supports free culinary arts and life skills training for disadvantaged adults through existng non-profit organizations.

THE JACQUES PEPIN FOUNDATION'S PRINIPAL ACTIVITY IS TO SUPPORT THE WORK OF EXISTING NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS THAT TRAIN ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED ADULTS FOR FOOD SERVICE EMPLOYMENT. THE ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTED TEACH CULINARY SKILLS AND LIFE SKILLS TO INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE WORKFORCE. THE NET RESULT IS A WIN FOR SOCIETY, A WIN FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO LEARN MARKETABLE SKILLS AS WELL AS CONFIDENCE AND SELF-EFFICACY, AND FOR FOOD SERVICE WHICH CURRENTLY HAD 650,000 JOB VACANCIES. THE JACQUES PEPIN FOUNDATION, AS THE MOST TRUSTED NAME IN CULINARY EDUCATION, WITH DEEP ROOTS IN THE INDUSTRY AND CURRICULUM EXPERTISE, IS UNIQUELY QUALIFIED TO ADVANCE CULINARY TRAINING FOR OUR NEEDIEST, WILLING CITIZENS. WE TEACH AND CONNECT CHEFS TO TEACHING KITCHENS AS VOLUNTEERS. A SUBSTANTIVE AMOUNT OF OUR TIME IS SPENT ON COLLABORATIVE FUNDRAISING EVENTS THAT INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND GENERATE ECONOMIC SUPPORT FOR THESE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. THE EVENTS ARE CREATED BY THE FOUNDATION FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CO-HOST ORGANIZATIONS. WE BRING NATIONAL TALENT (CHEFS), VIP SPEAKERS AND GUESTS, HIGH-END AUCTION ITEMS, AND A SKILLED PRODUCTION TEAM INTO THE COLLABORATION THAT THE CO-HOST ORGANIZATION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ATTRACT ON THEIR OWN. THE EVENTS RAISE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE REVENUE THAN THE CO-HOST ORGANIZATIONS TYPICALLY RAISE AT THEIR OWN INDEPENDENTLY-RUN FUNDRAISERS, AS WELL AS PRESS, VISIBILITY AND NEW DONORS. THESE CO-HOST ORGANIZATIONS KEEP MOST OF THE NET REVENUES TO FUND CULINARY AND LIFE SKILLS TRAINING FOR DISADVANTAGED AND DISENFRANCHISED ADULTS.

CULINARY EDUCATION - THROUGH VARIOUS LICENSE AGREEMENTS, IN FY 19 THE FOUNDATON CREATED A NEW, ADDITIONAL, WEBSITE (www.jp.foundation) TO PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES THROUGH VIDEOS, VIDEO EXCERPTS, AND OTHER RELATED ITEMS FOR THE CULINARY EDUCATION PROGRAM.

THE JACQUES PEPIN FOUNDATION COMMUNICATES DIRECTLY WITH MANUFACTURERS AND BROKERS EQUIPMENT DONATIONS, WHEREBY THE MANUFACTURERS THEN DONATE DIRECTLY TO THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT NEED THEM THE MOST. IN 2019, THIS INCLUDED DONATIONS OF CUTTING BOARDS AND WORK TABLES FROM JOHN BOOS CO. AND GENERAL RESTAURANT EQUIPMENT FROM SPENCE WELLS ASSOCIATES. SINCE THE DONATIONS ARE MADE DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURERS (THE DONORS) TO THE RECIPIENTS (THE DONEES), THESE TRANSACTION (I.E. INCOME AND EXPENSES) ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BOOKS AND RECORDS OF THE FOUNDATION.
