Mission

SEE SCHEDULE O

Activities or mission (Part I)

TO PROVIDE EVERY STUDENT IN CA ACCESS TO PURSUE A CAREER & EDUCATION IN THE FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY.

  • EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH SCHOLARSHIPS FOR STUDENTS INTERESTED IN THE RESTAURANT AND HOSPITALITY INDUSTRIES.

    Expenses $214,174 · Grants $165,500

  • CREATE A BRAND OF EXCELLENCE IN TRAINING FOR HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY JOBS BY SUPPORTING PROSTART PROGRAMS THROUGH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN HIGH SCHOOLS. TO CREATE A NEW GENERATION OF RESTAURATEURS BY FUELING A DESIRE IN YOUNG PEOPLE TO ENTER THE RESTAURANT COMMUNITY.NATIONALLY, PROSTART IS RECOGNIZED AS THE INDUSTRY-BACKED TRAINING FOR HIGH SCHOOL CULINARY ARTS PROGRAMS. THE CALIFORNIA RESTAURANT FOUNDATION PROVIDES CULINARY AND HOSPITALITY TRAINING AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES TO THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS IN PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE. PROSTART'S JOB READINESS TRAINING BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT. THIS BRIDGE IS CRITICAL FOR YOUTH FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WHO ARE FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE BOUND AND LOW-INCOME. VOCATIONAL TRAINING (ALSO KNOWN AS CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION CTE) PROGRAMS PROVIDE PRACTICAL SKILLS THAT ARE DIRECTLY TRANSFERABLE TO VARIOUS INDUSTRIES, INCLUDING TIME MANAGEMENT, TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION, AND CREATIVE THINKING. THESE BENEFITS ARE CRITICAL FOR THE STUDENTS WE SERVE. PROSTART ENCOURAGES STUDENTS TO DEVELOP THEIR UNIQUE PASSIONS, INTERESTS, AND ABILITIES, WHETHER THAT'S IN THE CULINARY ARTS AND HOSPITALITY, OR ANOTHER FIELD ENTIRELY. WHILE WE HOPE TO INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF PASSIONATE FOOD SERVICE PROFESSIONALS, WE ARE MORE FOCUSED ON REMINDING STUDENTS EARLY (STARTING IN 9TH GRADE) AND OFTEN (THROUGHOUT ALL FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL) THAT THEY CAN DO ANYTHING THEY SET THEIR MINDS TO. WHEN INCOME DOES NOT DETERMINE WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO OUR YOUTH, THE WORLD BECOMES MORE EQUITABLE AND THE POSSIBILITIES FOR SUCCESS ARE ENDLESS. CRF SUPPORTS TOMORROW'S CULINARY TALENT AND RESTAURANT BUSINESS LEADERS AND PROMOTES WORKFORCE ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS. IN ADDITION, OUT OF TWENTY CURRENT 9TH GRADERS, SIX WILL DROP OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL, SIX WILL GO DIRECTLY TO WORK AFTER HIGH SCHOOL AND EIGHT WILL BECOME COLLEGE FRESHMEN. DROPPING OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL IS RELATED TO A NUMBER OF NEGATIVE OUTCOMES. DROPOUTS ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE IN THE LABOR FORCE THAN THOSE WITH A HIGH SCHOOL CREDENTIAL. STUDENTS ARE MOTIVATED TO STAY IN SCHOOL AND GRADUATE BECAUSE: THEY WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE; THEY WANT TO HAVE A GOOD JOB; THEY WANT TO ATTEND COLLEGE; AND, THEY WANT TO BE GOOD ROLE MODELS FOR THEIR PARENTS AND SIBLINGS. THE PROSTART PROGRAM OF CRF IS DESIGNED TO CAPTURE THE INTEREST AND ENGAGE THE MINDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE BE STRUGGLING STAYING IN SCHOOL. LEARNING THE CULINARY AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS TAUGHT BY OUR PROSTART CLASS PROVIDES PRACTICAL SKILLS FOR SUCCESS.CRF SERVES 140 PROSTART PROGRAMS WITH 13,500 STUDENTS. 50% OF PROSTART STUDENTS SURVEYED SAID PROSTART IS A MAJOR REASON WHY THEY COME TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY. 91% OF PROSTART STUDENTS CREDIT PROSTART FOR TEACHING THEM JOB READINESS SKILLS. THROUGH CRF/PROSTART EVENTS 73% OF STUDENTS FEEL BETTER PREPARED TO APPLY FOR COLLEGE AND 36% ARE MORE LIKELY TO STUDY HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT/CULINARY.

The first 25 listed. Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
