The Jacques Pépin Foundation is delighted to announce our first round of 2025 Principal Grant awardees. We are honored to partner with these community-based culinary training programs, and excited to see how far their graduates will go! We are also deeply grateful to our Grants Review Committee volunteers. The time they spent reading and providing feedback on the dozens of proposals we received is vital to the success of the JPF’s mission to spread culinary education.

On November 1, 2025, Chef Thomas Keller will host an intimate dinner at The French Laundry in honor of Jacques Pépin and in support of the Jacques Pépin Foundation, as part of our 90/90 Celebration Series. The evening promises extraordinary hospitality in service of a purpose far greater than the meal itself—honoring a legacy of teaching with the greatest culinary educators of our time.
