Celebrating Our Cause, Sustaining Our Work

Our fundraising efforts are directed toward existing organizations. When we co-host events, such as prior collaborative efforts with FareStart, NECAT, Rhode Island Food Bank, and Boston University, a majority of the funds raised go directly to our partner. We are proud to support the great work that is being done in communities all across our nation.

Making a Difference

Celebrate Jacques’ 90th Birthday Nationwide

Chill the Champagne and stock up on birthday candles, because Jacques Pépin is going to turn 90 next year! That’s something to commemorate in and of itself, but at the Jacques Pépin Foundation we’re planning to celebrate both the man and the mission of the JPF.

Jacques Lessons in Language

We happen to believe that Jacques is one of the greatest culinary instructors of all time, but we were recently surprised to learn he’s also a great English teacher! As Teacher Appreciation Month comes to a close, here is an excerpt from a fun story that Chef Josh Riazi, COO of JPF Grantee Genesis Center – CHOP, shared at their 90/90 Celebration in March.

Host a Home Cook Celebration for Jacques

Join cooks from all over in hosting Home Cook Celebrations in honor of Jacques Pépin’s 90th birthday by creating a meal of your own! Whether you host a sit-down dinner, a potluck, or something else entirely (perhaps a crêpe party?), it’s a chance to celebrate the joy of food with your community.

Why Membership Matters

In his long career, Jacques Pépin has taught generations of professionals and home cooks. The Jacques Pépin Foundation is Jacques’ legacy realized, and the JPF Membership Program is a cornerstone of the vision and mission of the Jacques Pépin Foundation. We invite you to become a Member of the JPF and take part firsthand in enriching lives and strengthening communities through the power of culinary education.
