Grants Programs
Through our Grants Program, we provide support to eligible non-profit organizations across the United States that align with our mission and share our vision of “more kids working towards their fullest potential.”
We do this through three programs:
Emeril's Culinary Garden & Teaching Kitchen
National education program that integrates culinary gardens and teaching kitchens in schools to create interactive learning environments centered on food.
Community Grants Program
Providing capital and programmatic support to nonprofit organizations across the nation delivering culinary, nutrition and arts education, life skills development, and basic needs to youth.
Aarón Sánchez Impact Fund
The Aarón Sánchez Impact Fund is a program of Emeril Lagasse Foundation founded by Chef Aarón Sánchez to uplift the lives of Latino youth through food. The Fund supports two initiatives: the Aarón Sánchez Scholarship, which provides aspiring chefs with educational and professional opportunities, and a Human Services Grants Program supporting nonprofit organizations focused on food access and nutrition education.
