Our Story

Founded in 2015, the TBG Education Foundation was established to address the growing workforce shortage in Minnesota’s construction industry. By working alongside industry partners, educators and organizations, the Foundation provides financial support through scholarships and grants while promoting awareness of the many career paths available in the trades. 

Today, we continue to invest in the people and programs that will shape the future of the industry.
