Since 2022\, the Foundation has pledged over US$2 million supporting 66 Scholars based in 23 countries\, and 30 Grantee organisations working in 15 countries. These programmes combined have benefitted over 1\,200 individuals in developing their careers through education and training \nThe upcoming masterclasses in Australia follow a successful session hosted in St. Helena\, CA on 16th January. Angela McCrae from the Association of African American Vintners\, who attended the US masterclass via a Gérard Basset Foundation funded place\, said: “The masterclass was insightful and very helpful in understanding wine trends and how to approach the changing wine consumer.” She continued by noting that “Attendees will learn how to become authentic and intentional in your wine marketing efforts” \nThe Gérard Basset Foundation is funding two places at each of the Sydney and Melbourne masterclasses\, to support its mission of diversity and inclusivity in the wine industry by funding places to broaden access to individuals who may otherwise have financial constraints in attending and benefiting from this learning opportunity. \nFor those interested in applying for a funded place\, please email enquiries@theGérardbassetfoundation.org\, including both a short introduction of yourself and a brief summary of why you would like to attend (ideally in no more than 300 words). \nThe deadline for applications is February 9th and applicants will be notified on February 12th.
