COOKIN’ UP SOMETHING FIERCE. 

The Made in New Orleans Foundation

Made in New Orleans Foundation (MiNO) envisions a New Orleans hospitality industry that leads the world in growing, supporting, and financing the success of BIPOC. We use a multidisciplinary approach to address, ameliorate, and eliminate disparities facing hospitality professionals of color. At the individual level, we provide educational resources, individual mentorship and scholarships, and business coaching. At the industry level, we amplify the voices of professionals of color and provide support to hospitality companies that are seeking to eliminate bias and disparities in their organizations. MiNO is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. 

Made Together

We believe we are made together living, working, eating, serving and creating in New Orleans. We continue to value service to our community and making a difference to what we love the most about New Orleans, its people.

We invite you to join with us and support to make a difference in the lives of people who contribute to making New Orleans what it is. A center of food, hospitality, and culture unlike any place on the planet. If you love New Orleans invest in its people. We believe the only way forward is made together.
