Freedom Through Trades

Empowering Americans with debt-free trade education and the tools to build successful businesses

A Call to Rebuild the American Spirit

The Frenette Foundation is dedicated to empowering Americans through actionable, faith-based opportunity in the skilled trades.

We commit to running fundraisers that fuel trade school grants for individuals seeking careers in blue-collar trades. Our mission is clear: equip people with the skills, tools, and vehicles needed to launch their own businesses post-graduation.

We reject the path of expensive college degrees, riddled with debt and often lacking practical application, in favor of hands-on trades that build, repair, and sustain our great nation. This is not charity—it is investment in self-reliance, rooted in the values that define true American freedom.

Our Foundation: Red, White, and Blue

The Red: America-First Resolve

Red symbolizes the red-blooded American spirit. We embrace America-First principles with unwavering belief in capitalism and free markets as engines of innovation and growth.

Through our foundation, we promote businesses that employ real people in irreplaceable roles. We focus on trades immune to automation—construction, manufacturing, and skilled labor where human hands and ingenuity prevail.

The White: Anchored in Values

White evokes the pure values upon which America was founded—principles of faith, family, morality, and divine purpose that guided our forebears to forge a nation under God.

Our grants foster a renaissance of biblical work ethic: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord" (Colossians 3:23). We support recipients who build businesses that honor faith, community, and national integrity.

The Blue: Honoring the Blue-Collar Backbone

Blue represents the blue-collar working class—the hardworking Americans who form the spine of our society. We champion the dignity of labor and the pride of self-sufficiency.

Through our fundraisers and grants, we provide trade school access, tools, and vehicles to launch businesses, rebuilding the American Dream one skilled hand at a time. This is the better life for hardworking Americans: less burden, more opportunity.

The Perfect Storm: Why Trades Are America's Future

Three powerful forces are converging to make skilled trades the cornerstone of American prosperity

500,000+

Current Shortage

Open positions in skilled trades right now, with employers desperately seeking qualified workers across construction, manufacturing, and infrastructure sectors.

500,000+

Aging Workforce

Additional positions expected to open in the coming decade as Baby Boomers retire and age out of these critical roles, creating unprecedented opportunity.

AI Threat

White Collar Collapse

Artificial intelligence is expected to replace millions of white-collar jobs within the next decade—but cannot replace skilled tradespeople.

The Inescapable Truth

These three forces—AI automation of white-collar work, an aging workforce, and massive current demand—combine to create an undeniable reality:

America's success depends on our capacity to shift people away from white-collar jobs and useless college degrees to the skilled trades!

While office workers face obsolescence and college graduates drown in debt for degrees that lead nowhere, skilled tradespeople will build, repair, and maintain the infrastructure that keeps America running. These are jobs that require human hands, human judgment, and human ingenuity—qualities no algorithm can replicate.

The future of America is not in cubicles and conference rooms—it's in workshops, construction sites, and the skilled hands of tradespeople who build our nation's prosperity.

Our Vision: A Debt-Free, Faith-Fueled Future

The Frenette Foundation envisions an America reborn through trades—where individuals lead the charge in revitalizing our workforce without the shackles of student debt.

We reject the blueprint for stagnation, choosing instead to arm people with hammers, wrenches, and entrepreneurial spirit. By focusing on jobs that require human skill and cannot be automated, we secure prosperity for generations.

Imagine a welder starting their shop debt-free, a plumber employing locals without college loans hanging like chains.

This is the better life for hardworking Americans: less burden, more opportunity, and a society where effort is exalted.

Join us in this mission. Through fundraisers led by the Frenette family, we will raise the banner of freedom through trades. Together, we reclaim America's true colors for a nation of builders, believers, and bold entrepreneurs.
