WHO
WE ARE
LM Foundations is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing education, workforce training, and entrepreneurship. It started from a desire to address the pressing need to close the skills gap within the clothing manufacturing sector from a lack of skilled workers within the NYC community. Attempting to hire within the Queens community was challenging as many potential new hires lacked proper skills to work within the industry and the second issue was helping emerging to small brands develop their clothing brand yet they lacked the foundational structure of operating a legally structured business that was successful.
This is what birthed the extension of The LM Factory as a philanthropic branch of LADASKA MECHELLE.
