Carhartt Announces Sales Donation and “For the Love of Labor” Grant

Women’s gear sales on March 8 to fund scholarships for women pursuing fulfilling careers in the skilled trades

In recognition of International Women’s Day, Carhartt is dedicating its Spring 2024 “For the Love of Labor” grant and donating proceeds from women’s apparel sales up to $250,000 on March 8 to benefit Metallica’s Foundation, All Within My Hands and its Metallica Scholars Initiative.

In recognition of International Women’s Day, Carhartt is donating proceeds from women’s apparel sales up to $250,000 on Carhartt.com, Reworked.Carhartt.com and at any one of its 43 retail locations on March 8 – and dedicating its Spring 2024 “For the Love of Labor” grant – to support Metallica’s Foundation, All Within My Hands, and its Metallica Scholars Initiative. Created by the members and management of Metallica, All Within My Hands is a philanthropic organization dedicated to creating sustainable communities by connecting future workers with trade programs in their communities.

Through its partnership with the American Association of Community Colleges, the Metallica Scholars Initiative is uniquely positioned to enhance career and technical education programs at a local level and help foster stronger pathways for women to develop the skills needed to enter a traditional trade or other applied learning program. Now in its fifth year, the Metallica Scholars initiative has impacted the lives of approximately 6,000 students, directly supporting 42 community colleges across 33 states through an investment totaling over $6 million to support the American skilled workforce to-date.

This isn’t the first time Carhartt and All Within My Hands have teamed up to help close the skilled trades gap. Timed with Labor Day in 2021, the two like-minded partners collaborated on a nationwide campaign, “Hard Rock is Hard Work,” aimed to recruit a new generation of workers to the trades, in live events – such as concerts – and beyond.
