By becoming a Patron of the James Beard Foundation, you’ll join a passionate community of supporters who believe in creating an equitable and sustainable future for the food and beverage industry—one where everyone has the opportunity and resources to thrive.

Your annual Patron Program contribution directly supports our work, including JBF’s Good Food for Good campaign, Women’s Leadership programs, Racial Equity initiatives, Advocacy, and Sustainability programs.

And as a valued member of our philanthropic community, you will receive custom JBF merchandise; pre-sale access to exciting events at Platform by JBF featuring leading chefs, beverage experts, and other industry professionals; exclusive invitations to private Patron events; and more.

Share your culinary passion and support the James Beard Foundation’s impact programming by giving someone special a Patron membership (or become a member yourself!).
