ToolBOX: Offering a Brighter Future for Homeowners
ToolBOX receives game-changing grant from Impact 100 Richmond

We're thrilled to share some exciting news! ToolBox has been awarded a $100,000 grant from Impact 100 Richmond. This generous gift will allow us to expand our programs and reach even more homeowners in need.
Empowering Homeowners, One Skill at a Time
Shawna, a dedicated homeowner, faced a common challenge: a growing list of home repairs she couldn't afford or didn't know how to tackle. With rising costs and limited resources, many homeowners like Shawna are struggling to maintain their homes.
But Shawna's story is changing. Through hands-on learning at ToolBox workshops, she gained the confidence and skills to take on these challenges. From basic plumbing to drywall repair, she's now equipped to maintain her home and save money.
ToolBox is breaking this cycle by providing the knowledge and skills needed to keep homes in good repair. With this $100,000 grant from Impact 100 Richmond, we're poised to expand our impact:
- More Workshops: We'll offer an even wider range of workshops, from beginner-friendly to advanced techniques.
- Mobile Training Units: Our skills will hit the road! Our mobile unit will bring hands-on training directly to your neighborhood.
- Increased Availability: We're committed to increasing the number of our workshops, and they’ll remain accessible to everyone. Our "pay-what-you-can" model ensures financial barriers won't hold you back.
Are you ready to get involved? We’ve got a few ways for you to help us continue our ToolBOX celebration:
- Attend upcoming workshops: Keep learning valuable skills and connect with other homeowners. Fall & winter schedule is being confirmed as we speak, our website will be updated once we've got everything confirmed!
- Suggest a Workshop: Have an idea for a new workshop? Let us know! Comment below & we’ll pass it along.
- Share Your Story: Tell us how ToolBox has transformed your home. Your personal testimonials help us attract donors and showcase the impact of this unique program.
