Our mission is to serve community-based organizations by providing tools, equipment, and expertise to empower their most ambitious goals.
We lend tools & equipment to community-based organizations and volunteers. Those volunteers complete service projects that make Richmond a more vibrant and equitable place for everyone. No one helps drive more impact than ToolBank.
We lend tools to not-for-profit organizations for 3% of the total retail value of the tools borrowed per week. Our inventory is extensive so our members can borrow exactly what they need.
Building Change is a one-of-a-kind community give-back experience that empowers volunteers of any age, background or affiliation to build lasting change in their community.
The ToolBOX program offers a series of free hands-on homecare & DIY workshops to help you develop the knowledge and skills for basic home care & repair.
With eight years of service and a global pandemic under our belts, we're excited to present our very first Annual Impact Report. The words, charts, and images you see here represent thousands of individual stories of small groups of people that saw a need to take action with the support of ToolBank and our tools. Each one of these stories is a step along the unending journey of making Richmond a safer, more beautiful, and equitable place for all of us.
