The world of a celebrity chef isn’t only about racking up Michelin stars and making guest appearances on Top Chef. For many, like Michel Nischan, it’s also about creating change in the food system around them. These chefs use their celebrity status not only to endorse charities, but also to head their own foundations that aim to make food more accessible and affordable.

Food & Wine magazine chose Nischan’s foundation, Wholesome Wave, and those of nine other chefs/philanthropists as part of their Chefs Make Change campaign, which aims to raise money for all of the foundations from now through February 15. You can donate online at foodandwine.com/donate.

Below are the 10 chefs and their foundations:
