The Piehole Project is an annual pie auction that sells extravagant one-of-a-kind pies sold by notable local chefs to raise money for the restaurant and hospitality industry for grants, scholarships and continuing education.
Piehole Project, now in its 4th year, has sold over 160 pies for a total of $45,000 since its debut in 2020. In its 3rd year, Piehole Project expanded to Austin and is looking forward to continuing to grow in Texas in the coming years.
Each year Piehole Project picks a theme for chef photography and after a successful 80s themed 2022 has landed on Superheros for 2023.
Piehole Project is dedicated to providing workplace development assistance and community building for the restaurant and hospitality industry.
Our programming intends to support people who make their living in food & beverage and hospitality. Through scholarship initiatives, community engagement, and strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations, Piehole Project's programming provides access to skills training, mentorship, and community-building programs that focus on sustainable employment, career development, financial independence, and industry pride.
We are looking to raise $5,000 to provide matching grants to local organizations focused on restaurant skills training in underserved communities.
Piehole believes there is space in the restaurant and hospitality industries for everyone of all races, identities, abilities, cultures, languages, ethnicities and orientation.
It’s our mission to promote and enhance the workforce of the restaurant and hospitality industries through support of all people and organizations with like-minded goals through awards, scholarships, and grants.
