Priorities
The foundation has identified four distinct funding priorities:
- Economic Inclusion
- Foundation grant making will focus on organizations requiring capital expenditures to create a more diverse workforce, provide practical approaches to supporting diversity or provide cost-effective methods for Economic Inclusion.
- Education
- Elementary/Secondary Education:
- Maintaining or improving quality of life and standards of living require a nation of highly skilled workers. To reach this goal, every student must be prepared to perform and have a baseline education that propels lifelong learning. Grant making will focus on capital expenditures that make this possible.
- Higher Education:

Grant making will focus on programs and collaborative initiatives requiring capital expenditures that will prepare these construction leaders.
- Elementary/Secondary Education:
- Workforce Development
- Amazing things can happen when people have access to the right resources to help them pursue their dreams.
- Consideration will be given to organizations and programs requiring capital expenditures that promote training and essential skills necessary for workers to succeed.
