Share The Tools Fund

Get tools in the hands of the individuals & orgs who need them most

People need tools to keep their homes comfortable, functional, and safe. Organizations need tools for community workdays, facility upkeep, and other mission-driven activities. The Share the Tools Fund gets tools in the hands of the people & organizations who need them most.

“I want to teach myself and my son how to take care of our home. It helps him to see me fix, reuse, and build things rather than buy or hire.”

How does the Share the Tools fund work?

Every dollar you donate goes into a fund. This money pays for the tools, space, and staff needed to ensure that underrepresented individuals and organizations creating positive change have access to our programs. As long as there is money in the fund, we are able to provide free/heavily-discounted Tool Library Memberships, Classes, and Open Workshop Hours.

Your money goes directly to…

  • Increasing the availability of financial assistance for individuals & organizations dollar for dollar

  • Adding new, high-demand tools for you to borrow

  • Repairing and maintaining our 5,000+ available public-use tools

  • Taking care of our staff so they can take care of our community

“The opportunity to be able to work in the workshop would give me a chance to build things that I want to use in my home now and maybe even some things to gift to loved ones as well! Maybe I'll even find a bit of community which would mean the world to me.”
