About

The Gene Haas Foundation offers scholarships that help build skills within the machining industry. In 1999 Gene Haas founded the Gene Haas Foundation. Growing up with a strong social conscience instilled by his family, Haas initially formed the foundation to fund the needs of the local community. 

Haas is the owner of Haas Automation, Inc., America's leading builder of CNC machine tools, which he started in 1983. Haas Automation is now a billion-dollar company and the largest machine tool manufacturer in the United States. This extraordinary growth has all come in an era when American's were being told that the United States doesn't manufacture anything anymore. Those perceptions and decisions made in our education system regarding vocational education have led to dire statistics. A recent report called The Skills Gap in U.S. Manufacturing 2015 and Beyond projects that, "Over the next decade, nearly three and a half million manufacturing jobs will likely need to be filled, and the skills gap is expected to result in 2 million of those jobs going unfilled."

Gene's commitment to the importance of US manufacturing has incited him to grow his personal foundation and direct his foundation board to focus on manufacturing education in the form of scholarships for machinist training.
