About Us

WHO WE ARE

The Michigan Trades Collective is a non-profit, volunteer managed organization,
focused on providing tuition funding for individuals pursuing careers in skilled trades.

WHY IT MATTERS

Skilled trade is essential to our communities. Through our giving we are advancing
opportunities for students pursuing skilled trades careers and encouraging the revival of
dignity, excellence, opportunity and respect for the trades.

HOW WE OPERATE

We are a volunteer managed non-profit that operates with a small team and minimal
overhead. Funds are collected through generous donations and grants, then distributed
directly to students in the form of tuition scholarships.

WHO WE HELP

We provide tuition scholarships to anyone who is seeking a career in the trades,
regardless of their age or background. We’re cultivating the next generation of skilled
professionals.
