Our Mission: A Foundation for the Trades

We know skilled trades are the backbone of a strong economic future, but outdated perceptions and an emphasis on college degrees have led to labor shortages. That’s why the Lowe’s Foundation launched the 50-5-50 commitment—a $50 million investment from 2023 to 2028 to train 50,000 new skilled tradespeople and support the organizations preparing the next generation of pros.
