Fall is finally here, and I am excited to enjoy a cooler season doing a few of my favorite autumnal things like picking apples & baking some delicious pies. But instead of daydreaming about baked goods, I wanted to share a few updates about our 2023 Annual Fund Campaign.

So far, we've raised $8,676.78 together & our community is thirsty because we've already earned $347 from Starr Hill so far, and we know we can inch closer to $600 with your help. From today through September 30th, we're still the Cheers for Charity partner, and for EVERY pint sold of The Love - we'll receive $1.00 which feeds directly into our #ToolsForChange program. 

In case you're new, our Tools for Change program is at the core of our mission and how our Annual Fund Campaign makes a massive difference throughout our 10,000 sq foot warehouse. If you know all about it, scroll on down to your invitation from the whole ToolBank crew (Jamie, Toby & Adam) to our upcoming trivia night at Starr Hill Beer Hall & Rooftop. 

Making an Impact: Tools For Change

Our Tools For Change program is at the heart of our mission to create a greener and more welcoming city for current & future Richmonders. Through this initiative, we provide tools, equipment, and expertise to empower member agencies and volunteers to build a better tomorrow. From tool education to community development, every aspect of our Tools For Change program is designed to foster positive, lasting change.

Our Annual Fund Campaign: A Key to Progress

Our annual fund campaign provides the financial backbone for our Tool For Change program. It enables us to maintain and expand our tool-lending warehouse which includes 10,000 + tools of 250 types. We're thrilled to share that, as of now, we've raised $8,676.78 towards our campaign goal of $15,000 by December 31, 2023.

This progress is thanks to the incredible support of people like you, who understand the importance of our mission and are willing to contribute to our success. Your donation (large or small, monetarily or time) may not seem like a big deal, but it has a massive ripple at our 10,000-square-foot tool-lending warehouse. 

Here are a few ways that you can help us hit our goals & welcome 2024 on a high!
