Our 9th Anniversary Celebration on April 9th will be here before we know it, and we are thrilled to announce our featured speaker for the evening’s program: Maddrey Goode, Executive Director of New England Culinary Arts Training (NECAT). After first being awarded with a JPF Principal Grant in 2018, the Boston-based organization was awarded our first-ever Partnership Circle Grant Award in 2023.

We announced our latest round of grantees in December, including two returning organizations joining our Partnership Circle with a two-year $50,000 grant. This month, we’d like you to get to know these extraordinary organizations. Stone Soup PDX in Portland, OR combines hands-on training, wraparound support services and real kitchen experience to help participants build skills, confidence and pathways to long-term employment.

After 18 months and 89 amazing events, the 90th celebration on Jacques’ actual 90th birthday was the crowning jewel of the 90/90 Campaign. Jacques, Claudine, and much of the JPF team welcomed guests to the sold-out event in Jacques’ adopted hometown at an historic beachfront resort with Connecticut’s finest culinary talent.
Join us for an evening with celebrated culinary personalities, amazing food and drinks, and the glamor of New York City — all in support of our mission to change lives through the power of culinary education. With strong interest each year and limited premium seating, we encourage you to reserve your place for this incredible event.
