Support the Power of Food to Transform Communities and Lives
Food brings communities together. By making a gift to the Escoffier Scholarship Foundation, you support the restaurants that benefit from a better-educated workforce. Your generous donation supports culinary students, enriching the cultural fabric of our communities through our restaurants, cafés, food trucks, and more.
Or make a recurring donation.
How your gift helps
Strong restaurants provide employment, bridge differences, and build community.
Advance Education
From single parents to underprivileged youth, your gift could bring a formal education and a culinary future that might otherwise be out of reach.
Drive Culinary Innovation
The future of humanity is tied to the future of food and educated food leaders. Consider how your gift can impact sustainable farming, global climate issues, and nutrition and health.
Create Good-Paying Jobs
Educated culinarians are better-paid culinarians! The restaurant industry is expected to add 200,000 jobs, with employment reaching 15.7 million by the end of 20241. Let’s make those jobs desirable.
