Louisville, KY — Les Dames d’Escoffier International is now accepting applications for its third round of its LDEI Relief Fund grants. The Fund was created in April 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic to offer assistance to non-profit organizations which provide support to women impacted by disasters, such as the
COVID-19 pandemic.
“There’s light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, but we know there is a lot of ongoing need in the non-profit community and Les Dames d’Escoffier International is so pleased to be able to offer a third round of grants from our LDEI Relief Fund,” said LDEI President Judith Hollis Jones. “As a non-profit organization of women in the food, beverage and hospitality industries, our first instinct is to serve – be it food, drink, or financial assistance.”
There are four $2000 grants available to non-profit organizations who support women impacted by disasters such as the Covid-19 pandemic and other events. The deadline for applications is April 1 and recipients will receive funds by April 15. Applicants must be established 501(c)3 organizations, NGOs or internationally recognized non-profits for at least three years. All application criteria and a downloadable application can be found here.
The first pair of $1000 grants was awarded in October to Made in New Orleans Foundation and Legal Services for Seniors and in December, four $2500 grants went to Jubilee Women’s Center in Seattle, Dog Tag, Inc., in Washington, D.C., The Nashville Food Project and Urban Roots in St. Paul, MN.
