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.

Starting the Year Right with New Grant Recipients

The Jacques Pépin Foundation is delighted to announce that the final round of 2024 Principal Grant Funds have been awarded. We are honored to partner with these community-based culinary training programs, and excited to see how far their graduates will go!

A Warm Welcome for the JPF in Boston

Last month, the Jacques Pépin Foundation family spent a busy and productive week in Boston. Jacques, Claudine, and Rollie attended several impactful events, nurturing culinary education at many levels and inspiring people to cook. Boston has always been a welcoming and generous place for the Pépin-Wesen family and the JPF. The hard work of the chefs and culinary educators there is an inspiration to us all!

Beyond the Check

As we’ve been going through the long but gratifying process of selecting our final round of Principal Grant recipients, we’ve realized that there’s actually much more that we give to our Grantees beyond the check. Here’s what each JPF Principal Grant recipient organization receives in addition to $10,000 in funding.
