Mission
The primary exempt purpose of the michigan culinary association, inc. (mca) in conjunction with its sister organization, the acf michigan chefs de cuisine, inc. Ein: 23-7304997, is through education to encourage and maintain high technical culinary arts standards in the preparation and service of food and beverages. The purpose was served in 2016 through the following:a. The michigan chefs de cuisine, inc. Met its program service accomplishments primarily through its monthly membership meeting. Each monthly meeting featured a cooking demonstration or guest speaker to introduce new or improved ideas and techniques or general information regarding product availability and preparation to the general membership.b. In its effort to keep its membership informed of activities and to provide a written educational forum, ten months each year the mca produces and distributes a newsletter, the michigan chefs, which is mailed to all members.
As stated on its FY2020 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Scholarships. In 2017, the mca awarded one scholarship. To qualify for scholarship consideration, candidates had to be current full-time students in michigan post-secondary schools or participants in the planned apprenticeship program. A panel of professional chefs ranked the anonymous applicants by merit, selecting recipients by evaluating them according to years of experience in the field, grade point average, number of years in school, extracurricular activities, and their answers to essay questions. These scholarship funds may be applied to books and tuition at any michigan post-secondary school that offers a hospitality or culinary arts program.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $21k to $36k (+67%).
