Trivia for the Trades
Fundraising for our Future
The annual fundraiser, Trivia for the Trades, supports our schools and students with grants and scholarships. The grants support our schools for class development, tools and materials for their educational courses that are focused on construction and trades. We have nearly 40 schools in our 9-county area that can apply for these grants each year.
In addition, we have a scholarship fund for students who want to attend a post-secondary school or trade school focused on construction or trades education.
Schools and students can apply for these grants and scholarships through the Mankato Area Foundation:
