Through our #GableGrants program, we’re supporting innovative and scalable skilled trades training programs that will prepare individuals for high-paying and long-lasting careers.

9moI'm looking at the grant recipients and they overwhelmingly appear to be in the post-secondary spaces or with incredibly large nonprofit organizations where the dollars are a less significant percentage of overall operating budgets. Are secondary institutions eligible for these grants? I work at a career technical education center in Missouri that serves 14 comprehensive high schools and over 120 students in Welding, HVAC, and Construction. We could serve more, but we're at capacity with current facilities and equipment. I also work with a nonprofit in Kansas City that provides workforce development support for the construction industry and exposing middle and high school students to viable careers in the trades. Is there a good person at the foundation to talk with before seeking any type of funding or pursuing this large of an application?
