the James Beard Foundation
About the cause
For more than 30 years, the James Beard Foundation has highlighted the centrality of food culture in our daily lives and promoted good food for good™. To that end, the Foundation has created signature impact-oriented initiatives that include their Women’s Leadership Programs aimed at addressing the gender imbalance in the culinary industry; advocacy training through their Chefs Boot Camp for Policy and Change; their Smart Catch program which trains chefs to serve seafood fished or farmed in environmentally responsible ways; their Waste Not program which educates chefs on how to eliminate food waste; and the James Beard Foundation Leadership Awards that shine a spotlight on successful change makers.
