Update posted 7 months ago
In 2023 we held a variety of events from our 3rd annual Bags for Tools bean bag tournament to our 37th annual Golf Outing and have raised over $20,000 for this years school grants. Our Central MN High School instructors are working hard to educate students on trades careers and these dollars help put updated tools in the hands of students. Consider your donation today as we work together to build the next generation of trades workers for Central MN. 

The vision of the Central Minnesota Builders Association (CMBA) is to offer increased support to schools by providing tools, supplies, grants, education and scholarships to enhance learning opportunities and to inspire more interest in the building trades as a career choice. The Tools for Schools Presidents Fund & Initiative is the brainchild of former CMBA President Craig Schoenberg of Schoenberg Construction, St. Cloud. The Tools for Schools Fund & Initiative has three primary goals:

  • Enhance the learning experiences for high schools students who show interest in entering the construction trades.
  • Provide information and direction on career options within the trades.
  • Address the building industry’s labor shortages.

To support these goals—and to build a stronger connection between the trades and future workforce members. Please help us connect with area educators and high school students to address and resolve issues that contribute to labor shortages and the downward trend in public education program supporting our industry’s workforce needs. 

Make checks payable to the Initiative Foundation - 446122, PO Box 64182, St. Paul, MN 55164-0182. Please note "Central Minnesota Builders Association Fund" in the memo line.

Your generous gift will be available immediately to support the operations of the Central Minnesota Builders Association Fund.
