SERVING NEW YORK CITY AND SUPPORTING ITS RESTAURANT AND NIGHTLIFE COMMUNITY

The NYC Hospitality Alliance Impact Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting a thriving and sustainable independent restaurant and nightlife community across the five boroughs. The Impact Foundation’s initiatives complement the NYC Hospitality Alliance by focusing on workforce development, job placement, scholarships, and inclusion; emergency meals and food relief; community support; philanthropy; research; and more.







WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT, JOB PLACEMENT, SCHOLARSHIPS, AND INCLUSION PROJECT

OUR IMPACT

The Workforce Development, Job Placement, Scholarships, and Inclusion Project

The Impact Foundation is committed to breaking down financial barriers for aspiring culinary professionals by awarding scholarships to exceptional young people. These scholarships help cover school-related costs, allowing students to focus on developing their skills and excelling in the culinary arts.

In addition to supporting students, The Impact Foundation provides grants to high-quality hospitality industry educators who train, develop, and mentor New Yorkers entering the restaurant sector. We also fund upskilling and career advancement programs for individuals already working in hospitality, empowering them to advance in their careers.

The foundation’s scholarships and grants prioritize disadvantaged and underserved communities, with a strong focus on inclusion, ensuring that all New Yorkers, regardless of background, can thrive in the culinary and hospitality industries.

THE FOOD RELIEF AND EMERGENCY MEALS PROJECT

OUR IMPACT

The Food Relief And Emergency Meals Project

The Impact Foundation is dedicated to alleviating food insecurity and supporting communities in need across New York City. We collaborate with food relief organizations to provide meals for those facing hunger, and purchasing from local restaurants to support small businesses across all five boroughs. Our efforts also include seasonal initiatives, such as Holiday Meal distributions, to help New Yorkers access food, especially during critical times. In addition to these services, we partner with other nonprofit organizations to amplify their work and strengthen the collective impact in the fight against food insecurity.
