SC&RF Awarding Forty $500 Mini-Grants to Celebrate 40 Years

(May 14, 2026) - In celebration of its 40th anniversary, SC&RF has set a bold goal: engage 40 schools in 2026 to connect students with career opportunities in crane, rigging, and specialized transport. We're at 13 schools — with 27 still to go. If your company has visited a school or career fair — or is ready to — here's what to do: complete the short online form and SC&RF will send a $500 mini-grant directly to the school you visited. That's it. We are awarding 40 Mini-Grants to celebrate our 40th Anniversary! Participating companies help build the future workforce, strengthen community relationships, and raise awareness of high-demand careers students may not know exist. And an even greater benefit is that it positions your company as an industry leader. SC&RF provides a ready-to-use kit with career postcards, student and parent fliers, editable career materials, giveaways, and access to industry videos and presentations — everything you need to make a professional impact. Students can't pursue careers they don't know exist. Your visit can change that. Accept the challenge at scr-foundation.org/40-schools-workforce-challenge or contact Jackie Roskos.
