What is the Share The Tools Fund?
People need tools to keep their homes comfortable, functional, and safe. Organizations need tools for community workdays, facility upkeep, and other mission-driven activities. Our Share the Tools Fund gets tools in the hands of the people & organizations who need them most.
How It Works
Every dollar you donate gets added into a fund. This money pays for the tools, space, and staff needed to ensure that underrepresented individuals and financially restricted organizations have access to our programs.
Your contributions directly support:
Expanding our capacity to offer Financial Assistance to individuals and community partners
Nurturing partnerships with values-aligned organizations and ensuring diverse voices shape DTL's growth
Adding the most in-demand tools to our community collection to best meet member needs
Repairing and maintaining the 6,000+ tools that keep Denver DIY-ing
Impact
Since Share the Tools Fund’s inception in 2023, we’ve been able to give big discounts on memberships, classes, and open shop hours to hundreds of people in our community.
People Given 25%-50% Off our Programs: 343
Orgs Given 50%-100% Off our Programs: 38
Estimated Total Savings: $32,875
Share the Tools Fund has also allowed us to lend tools to community projects like…
Building 29 school garden plots for East Middle School
Repairing fences at the Department of Housing Stability
Building infrastructure for food delivery for Denver Food Rescue.
