Mission Statement
The Epicurean Charitable Foundation (ECF) is a Las Vegas-based, non-profit organization committed to making a positive difference in the community and enriching the lives of deserving local students passionate about a career in hospitality and/or culinary arts by providing scholarship monies and mentorship opportunities.
About This Cause
The Epicurean Charitable Foundation is changing the lives for at-risk students. ECF works in partnership with the Clark County School District to seek out exceptional students committed to furthering their education and skills in hospitality and culinary arts. The average family income of our previous freshman class is just $25,348 and has a combined average weighted GPA of 4.46. Students are expected to maintain a cumulative GPA of at least a 3.0 during their course of study to obtain a bachelor’s degree. Students must attend all of the organization’s events and meetings while in the program. Students must also volunteer for a minimum of 60 hours of community service per year during their course of study. Students schedule and attend meetings with assigned personal mentor on a regular basis. All of the students are provided with internship opportunities and assistance with job placement after graduation. The Future Leaders of Hospitality Program pairs a student with a mentor from the board each year for the duration of their education. The mentor is required to meet with the student at least once a month to provide professional assistance. ECF board and staff and required to meet regularly with the student to ensure students are adhering to ECF policies and standards. Students not meeting the minimum ECF GPA are required to participate in the ECF peer-to-peer tutoring program. Board members and students themselves are tasked with executing ECF’s annual fundraising event, M.E.N.U.S. (Mentoring & Educating Nevada’s Upcoming Students). This once in a lifetime opportunity, allows the student to gain hands-on experience in real-world situation while executing an exclusive dine-around gala.
