What does it take to succeed in the culinary and hospitality businesses? Ambition. talent, and a willingness to work hard. And above all, it takes training and education.
Many students need assistance in opening doors to find that training and help to cover the cost of that education. They have the talent and ambition, and the desire and willingness to work hard. But they need our help to make it a reality. That’s why we provide much-needed educational opportunities to economically disadvantaged students.
Where do we get the money to do that? We have an endowment, and earnings from that endowment go to funding these programs. Foundation for Culinary Arts (F4CA) is also supported by funding from grants and private donors including individuals, corporations, and foundations
In addition, there are a number of fundraising events and activities to help supplement the continuation of the endowment.
To ensure our next generation of culinary students complete their goals of a quality education, they need our help. And we need your help to continue to make their dreams a reality.
Please consider getting involved monetarily, as a mentor, or as a volunteer.
