OUR MISSION

The Robert Irvine Foundation supports and strengthens the physical and mental well-being of our service members, veterans, first responders, and their families. We provide these heroes with life-changing opportunities that unlock the potential in their personal and professional lives through food, wellness, community, and financial support.

OUR FOUNDER

Robert Irvine is a world-class chef and entrepreneur, and tireless philanthropic supporter of our nation’s military. The host of Food Network’s hit show Restaurant: Impossible, he has given struggling restaurateurs a second chance to turn their lives and businesses around in over 200 episodes and counting.

OUR FOUNDATION

The Robert Irvine Foundation’s programs support heroes and their families through Food, Wellness, Community, and Financial Support. Its Food Programs offer shared meals to promote bonding, address food insecurity, and mentors veteran culinary entrepreneurs. The Wellness Programs provide opportunities for healing to address the invisible and visible wounds of our nation’s heroes by reconnecting combat units, matching service dogs, and offering adaptive mobility devices. Its Community Programs foster connection through resiliency events, education, base visits, and more. Financial Support eases burdens with grants and scholarships for service members, veterans, Gold Star Families, and surviving loved ones. Together, these efforts have impacted over one million heroes, their families, and civilians, creating lasting and meaningful change.

TESTIMONIAL

I’m incredibly grateful to Robert and the Robert Irvine Foundation for this gift. I can go anywhere now. I can go with my wife for a hike. I can go on the beach. Before, I would’ve been too exhausted trying to do things like that. Now? The sky’s the limit.
