Your investment makes a difference. For tomorrow's chefs, managers, operators and foodservice educators, your donation to the NRAEF unleashes opportunities that can inspire lifelong passions.
This is the simplest way to support the NRAEF. Your gift is fully tax deductible, and the funds are used to support the ProStart program, the NRAEF Scholarship Program and NRAEF events. You can contribute at all levels; any amount helps to further the NRAEF mission.
Why Give to the NRAEF?
With more than 13 million people currently employed and nearly 2 million more expected to join the workforce in the next ten years, the restaurant and foodservice industry needs an educated and trained workforce to lead it into the future.
Your support has an immediate impact. Through the generosity of donors like you:
- NRAEF's ProStart program reaches more than 90,000 students at 1,700 high schools in 45 states, Guam and 14 U.S. military bases, at home and abroad.
- We have awarded more than $14 million in scholarships since 1997.
- We host a number of events throughout the year that showcase the wealth of career opportunities available in the restaurant and foodservice industry.
Your generous, tax-deductible contribution directly supports students and teachers, while helping ensure the continued growth of our industry.
Help us address a growing need for support - give today.
Other ways to give:
Make an immediate impact on students and educators through your support of the NRAEF Scholarship Program and help us support deserving students and educators. Last year, we saw a 44 percent increase in the number of applications for financial support. Your contribution is essential to their success. Donate to the general fund or establish an endowment or named leadership fund.
Honor the past and promote the future. When funds are received for an individual's memorial or tribute, the NRAEF promptly notifies the person or family of the gift. Gifts to our memorials and tributes go directly toward the NRAEF Scholarship Program.
Your planned gift provides an exceptional investment in the NRAEF and is a wise fiscal decision for you. Giving options include endowments, bequests and annuities. These options may reduce your income taxes, help you to avoid capital gains tax, increase your spendable income and achieve no-cost, worry-free asset management. Most of all, your ongoing gift also aids the NRAEF in planning for the future.
