Share the Tools Helps our Community

Did y'all know a percentage of all your tool library, class, open workshop hours, and gift bucks purchases go to helping folks and orgs afford tools?

A chunk of our total revenue, your Gold Memberships, and your donations hangout at a big pool party called the Share the Tools Fund which gets distributed via financial assistance. We have a rolling fundraiser through the 2025 that you can donate to now.

Thanks for helping the community!

The time for spring projects is nigh! No matter if you need a mower to tame that unruly lawn, a nailer to build your Pinterest pergola, or a humble handsaw to cut your sunny backyard melon - we’ve got the tools!

Here's a quick crash course on how an annual Tool Library Membership works:

  1. You give us $150 (More than you can afford? We have financial assistance).

  2. We give you up to 10 of our 6,000+ tools to borrow for a week at a time.
