The Lowe’s Foundation has announced the allocation of 12 new Gable Grants aimed at community and technical colleges across the United States, a strategic move designed to address the critical shortage of skilled trades workers in America. With this latest round of funding, the foundation’s Gable Grants program now supports 60 organizations that provide scalable pathways into high-demand trade careers.

As the construction industry faces a significant labor gap, estimated to cost the housing sector $10 billion annually, these grants come at a crucial time. The funding will enable expanded training initiatives, allowing educational institutions to equip the next generation of skilled tradespeople with the necessary skills to thrive in various fields.

Janice Dupré, Lowe’s executive vice president of human resources and chair of the Lowe’s Foundation, expressed optimism about the initiative. “Collectively, we are writing a comeback story for the skilled trades industry,” she stated. “Through our Gable Grants network, these schools join a community of innovators helping one another effectively recruit, train, and employ the people America needs to revitalize our infrastructure.”

Since the inception of the Gable Grants program in 2023, the Lowe’s Foundation has invested $43 million across 28 states. This initiative is part of a broader five-year commitment of $50 million aimed at helping community and technical colleges, as well as nonprofits, to recruit, train, and prepare 50,000 trades professionals in areas such as carpentry, construction, HVAC, electrical work, plumbing, and property maintenance.

As the nation seeks to overcome workforce challenges in vital industries, the Gable Grants program represents a proactive approach to building a skilled labor force ready to meet the demands of today and the future.
