Welcome to the Wisconsin Builders Foundation

BETTER BUILDERS … BETTER HOMES … BETTER WISCONSIN

In the last ten years, the WB Foundation has award $87,800 in scholarships to young people throughout Wisconsin, giving them access to promising careers in the building trades. Help us continue this important work and expand our impact. Donate today!

Supporting the home builders of tomorrow is vital to the future of our industry but our work does not end there.

Our purpose is to also ensure that construction professionals can access education to keep their skills relevant and up to date.

And to be truly effective, the Foundation must expand relationships and increase collaboration with local associations and other industry partners throughout Wisconsin.

Make a donation to the Wisconsin Builders Foundation and help shape better builders, better homes and a better Wisconsin.

“I really like the bonds that are created with coworkers and customers when everyone is putting all they can into a project  it’s a great feeling to see the project complete and know it is someone’s home.” - Adam Fransee

“Start with any job in the construction industry and see where it takes you. I wish I could go back and work jobs framing, doing finish carpentry, and delivering lumber. If you don’t like a job, you learn from that and take that feedback into your next job. That goes for any industry. It’s never too late to change paths.” - Kelsey Kasten, Zuern Building Products

“The home building industry is one that will continue to need qualified skilled professionals. The demand for skilled workers is high. If you spend the time learning and working to gain a skillset in the industry, you will be rewarded.” - Ian Olson, Timber Innovations

The work of the Wisconsin Builders Foundation needs to fuel even more dreams and ambitions like these for Wisconsin students interested in the trades.
