Corporate & Personal Donations

CHF Corporate and Personal Donations support the CHF’s mission of empowering the next generation of foodservice and hospitality leaders. By providing financial contributions, resources, and/or expertise, Donors play a critical role in advancing CHF’s initiatives, including scholarships, advocacy, and programs that elevate the industry.

These donations demonstrate a shared commitment to fostering innovation, professional growth, and the long-term success of Canada’s hospitality sector.

Named Scholarships

Funding named scholarships are a powerful way for foodservice companies to invest in the industry’s future while showcasing their leadership and commitment to helping the CHF grow its reach and impact. By partnering with CHF to create custom scholarships, companies can directly support the next generation of hospitality professionals, aligning with their values and workforce needs.

These scholarships not only elevate the company’s brand within the industry but also contribute to building a stronger, more innovative foodservice sector.

Legacy Gifts

Legacy gifts, or endowments, offer a powerful way to create a lasting impact on Canada’s hospitality industry. Designed for perpetuity, these gifts ensure that the principal donation remains intact while the investment income funds scholarships and programs year after year. Your contribution becomes a cornerstone of support, empowering future generations of hospitality leaders and fostering innovation for decades to come.

Establishing an endowment allows you to leave a legacy that reflects your values and makes an enduring difference in the industry you’re passionate about.

Host a CHF Fundraising Event

Support the future of hospitality by hosting a fundraising event for the Canadian Hospitality Foundation. Whether it’s a dinner, tasting, golf day or team-building challenge, your event can help fund scholarships, mentorship, and career-building opportunities for the next generation of industry leaders. It’s a meaningful way for industry leaders and suppliers to give back—and bring your community together in support of a stronger, more inclusive hospitality sector.
