LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR AND PRESIDENT
Dear Friends,
When preparing an annual report, most foundations think first about “the numbers.” Did
we accomplish all the programs and events we
promised? Did we reach our donor targets? Did
we meet our mission programs budget? We are
delighted to report that Fiscal Year 2016 was
the James Beard Foundation’s most successful
in history, delivering a surplus of more than
$1.1 million on revenues of over $12 million
(see pages 50–51). This was a very proud accomplishment as we approach our Foundation’s
30th Anniversary year.
What really drove the year’s success was people: our JBF staff, trustees, and you—the chefs
and restaurateurs, donors and diners, scholars
and sponsors, media, and members! And that’s
why we are writing about all of you in this Fiscal
Year 2016 Annual Report (April 1, 2015–March
31, 2016).
Thirty years ago, when the James Beard Foundation was founded by friends of James Beard, it
was with the intent that the Foundation would
continue Beard’s work to elevate the importance
of the role of food in our culture and foster the
appreciation of American cookery both here and
abroad—in the finest of restaurants, at neighborhood meeting places, and in our home kitchens.
As we celebrate our anniversary, we believe
James Beard would be proud of what the Foundation has accomplished, and we think he’d be
even more delighted to see the direction in which
we are going.
Just a few of our BIG achievements: we brought
the most celebrated culinary honors in the country, our James Beard Awards, to Chicago; we
worked with the U.S. Department of State to
represent the American perspective on our food
world at the USA Pavilion for the 2015 World
Expo in Milan, Italy; we published our second
cookbook, James Beard’s All-American Eats,
which celebrates James Beard Award–winning
community restaurants around the country; and
we continued to work to create a healthier, more
sustainable food system with our Foundation’s
Impact Programs.
Like so many, we believe that you truly get
what you give. The more work we do as a Foundation, the more great friends and partners we
make. Over the past year, we’ve teamed up with
inspiring organizations such as Partnership for
a Healthier America, Food Bank for New York
City, Wellness in the Schools, Food Policy Action, and God’s Love We Deliver to bring attention and resources to some of the most important
food issues of our time.
As you read about how we’ve accomplished our
mission to celebrate, nurture, and honor America’s diverse culinary heritage through programs
that educate and inspire, we hope that you will
be inspired to become more involved in our programs. None of this work would be possible without the support of our passionate staff, the wise
counsel of our Board of Trustees, and the generous support of our donors and sponsors.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed people can change the world,” Margaret Mead once said. “Indeed, it is the only thing
that ever has.”
We believe that together, we really can make
our food world a better place!

Awards Gala in Chicago
“The James Beard Foundation has
enjoyed a special friendship with
the city of Chicago for decades.
It’s a city that boasts over 40
James Beard Award winners,
as well as a special community
of chefs and restaurateurs who
have always supported the work
of our Foundation. We believe
celebrating our 2015 Awards in
Chicago is consistent with our
mission to honor excellence all
across America.”
JAMES BEARD
AWARDS GALA:
25 YEARS
The James Beard Awards reached two momentous
milestones in spring of 2015: the program celebrated its
25th anniversary and, for the first time ever, was held
outside New York City, in the exciting culinary city of
Chicago. The Foundation welcomed nearly 1,600 chefs,
restaurateurs, sponsors, and food enthusiasts to the
ceremony, which was hosted by Alton Brown and took

LETTER FROM THE
CHIEF FINANCIAL AND
OPERATING OFFICER
AND TREASURER
Fiscal Year 2016 was a record year for the James Beard Foundation, thanks to the contributions of our many supporters and
partners. The $1,157 MM surplus was the greatest in our organization’s history. The year also brought a notable change of venue
for one of our signature programs: after 24 years in New York City,
our James Beard Awards Gala was celebrated in Chicago, where
we enjoyed a rousing welcome from the chef and food community.
Our ever-expanding Impact Programs (The JBF Food Conference,
Chefs Boot Camps, Culinary Labs) reached an even broader segment of the culinary community, and we awarded our highest-ever
total of culinary scholarships. Among other program highlights,
dinners at the Beard House in New York, along with our national
Taste America and Celebrity Chef Tour events, contributed significantly to the Foundation’s revenue stream. Next year promises to
build on our past achievements, as we continue to invest in our
Impact and Scholarship programs.
