The Lowe’s Foundation Gable Grants program is dedicated to empowering communities across the US by fostering a community of skilled tradespeople to revitalize homes and neighborhoods. This initiative, aimed at closing the skilled trades labor gap, reflects Lowe’s commitment to transforming infrastructure for future generations.
Since its establishment in 1957, the foundation has been instrumental in providing millions of dollars to supply training and bolster workforce development for communities impacted by natural disasters.
The Gable Grants program, spanning five years and amounting to $50 million, promises to train 50,000 job-skilled tradespeople. To be eligible, community and technical colleges, along with community-based nonprofit organizations, must offer sustainable, scalable post-secondary skilled trades education programs.
These programs should have an emphasis on repair, carpentry/construction, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing. The program offers grants ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 grants and supports national nonprofit organizations by invitation only.
