The Lowe’s Foundation is continuing its mission to close the skilled trades gap with its Gable Grants program. Community and technical colleges offering innovative skilled trades training programs are encouraged to apply for funding, with the current application window open until March 31, 2025.
This round of grants is exclusively for community and technical colleges, while a separate cycle for community-based organizations and nonprofits will open later this year.
The Gable Grants program is part of a five-year, $50 million initiative aimed at training 50,000 job-ready skilled tradespeople by 2028. Since its launch in 2023, the Lowe’s Foundation has awarded over $34 million to institutions supporting workforce development in fields such as carpentry, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and appliance repair. Just last month, nearly $9 million was awarded to 15 nonprofit organizations across the country.
This is a great opportunity to support workforce development in your community. Please share this information with any eligible institutions.
