Glancy Wine Education Foundation

We are dedicated to assisting underserved communities with scholarships to further their professional wine education with the goal of raising their earning power and increasing diversity in the wine industry.

A more diverse and inclusive wine and hospitality industry where professionals can earn a living wage and advance their careers without barriers.

Goal One: Expand our relationships with educational institutions to be able to provide scholarships to a wider population of students throughout the country.

Goal Two: Increase our fundraising to allow us to spend more on non-scholarship expenses, such as marketing and awareness.

Goal Three: Build the organizational capacity to offer mentorship, guidance, and networking for our scholarship recipients to help ensure their success during and after the educational programs we fund.

The disaster that was COVID had a massive impact on the world of hospitality, as millions lost their jobs in restaurants, bars, and hotels around the world. During that time we were highly focused on helping professionals who were largely out of work but still trying to make progress in their careers. Over the last 18 months we've seen a return to normalcy, but it is a new normal, and as a result we are working to ensure we can still have the same kind of valuable impact on the industry we have over the past few years, but in an era of less emergency.
