Lending

The ToolBank Tool Lending Program is at the heart of everything we do. For 30 years, the ToolBank network has been empowering the not-for-profit sector with the tools, equipment & expertise that are central to completing tens of thousands of community transformation projects each year. That’s why no one drives more change in the scale we do. 

Currently, only not-for-profit organizations are eligible for a ToolBank membership, such as:

  • Nonprofit/Charitable/Tax exempt organizations
  • Schools and PTAs/PTOs
  • Neighborhood associations
  • Faith-based groups
  • Civic organizations
  • Government agencies
GET STARTED

The ToolBOX program offers hands-on homecare & DIY workshops to help you build skills, gain confidence, and have more fun caring for your home.

All tools, materials, and workshop supplies are provided by ToolBank. Workshops are held at the ToolBank, community hubs, and residential construction sites each month making workshop participation easy, fun, and affordable.
