We don’t all have time to be a regular volunteer and we aren’t all rich beyond our wildest dreams, so here’s five super easy ways to help us out (if you’re rich beyond your wildest dreams, skip this article and click here).
Way One: Amazon Smile
Look, we all know Amazon isn't great. We’re not trying to convince you to use Amazon if you don't already, BUT if you do, they have a program called Amazon Smile where we get a small percent of every one of your purchases. It's easy to sign up.
Make THIS your new bookmark for Amazon shopping. It’s Amazon SMILE which is important.
Sign in there with your regular account info and select a charity, which might I highly recommend the Denver Tool Library?
As long as you start shopping from that new bookmark, anything you buy makes Bezos have to shell out some fraction of some clams to the DTL. Yay.
Way TWO: King Soops
King Soopers has a program similar to Amazon where they kick a non-profit of your choice a small percent of all of your purchases. If you get groceries/ gas/ beer there on the reg, consider putting our name on your account.
Create an account at their website. It's quick - you can skip the little setup wizard that comes second if ya want.
Go to this Community Rewards page of your Account Dashboard and search for Denver Tool Library.
Click enroll. Easy peasy! Now a really mathematically obscure percentage of your spending will be donated to the DTL! Hoorah!
WAY THREE: LEAVE A 5 STAR REVIEW ON GOOGLE
Not into those shoppy choices of how to help? Leave us a Google review. It’s super helpful in convincing people who say “wtf is a tool library” that we are cool and they should take a chance and try us out.
WAY FOUR: TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT WE’RE AWESOME.
Tell your friends how much we’ve helped you! Tag us in stories about your project or just be that annoying "crypto bro" but instead of crypto talk about what a cool concept a tool library is.
WAY FIVE: SEND us a couple buckS.
And who can’t forget the last easy way to help - Venmoing us a few bucks @denvertoollibrary, or kicking a tax-deductible donation our way! For those who have the means, even a little money can go a long way in repairing/buying tools and subsizing memberships for people/orgs.
THANK YOU, YAY, GOOD JOB, WOOHOO!!
