Established in 2021, the Foundation’s mission is to financially back educational and professional initiatives concentrating on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion within the wine, spirits, and hospitality sectors.
Dedicated to elevating career prospects for its beneficiaries, the Foundation earmarks support for commendable programs addressing a myriad of communities, encompassing cultural and socioeconomic diversity, ethnic diversity, religious diversity, gender diversity, sexual orientation diversity, and disability diversity.
Lulie Halstead, interim CEO of the Gérard Basset Foundation, expresses her gratitude, stating, “Through our latest round of grantee funding, over 300 individuals will be empowered to advance their skills and employment opportunities.”
The Foundation is enthusiastic about collaborating with new grantee partners, extending aid to students in Zimbabwe pursuing ASI qualifications, Latinx students undergoing a 17-week wine-focused course in the United States, South African WSET Diploma students hailing from historically marginalized communities, and diverse student populations in West Bengal, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. Moreover, the Foundation is committed to supporting individuals with disabilities in attaining employment opportunities and qualifications in London.
Complementing its scholarship initiative, the Foundation extends annual grants to a diverse array of entities, ranging from grassroots nonprofits to globally renowned research institutions. While the Foundation’s scholarships predominantly assist those pursuing advanced qualifications, the grantee program caters to a broader spectrum of communities and individuals in the early stages of their careers.
