Closing the Trades Gap is Fully Funded!

Closing the Trades Gap Fully Funded for 2025

Hope Builds Life is thankful and grateful for the outpouring of support. Closing the Trades gap was our first program started with HBL. Through that time, building the awareness of the frighteningly growing gap of skilled labor in our trades industry, people have expressed their desire to help us in this mission.

We have received donations, formed partnerships with local trades companies, and connected with Construction Careers Academy in NISD. As a result, we are able to provide tool scholarships to deserving students who lack the funding and finance to buy their first set of tools needed to start their career off on solid footing.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible and here is to hoping you’ll continue with us on our journey in closing the trades gap that grows each year in America.

Stay tuned to hear about our scholarship winners in the coming months. We will update this page.

Continue helping us fund our other programs to lift up our communities.
