Richmond Community Toolbank

Since 2015 Richmond Toolbank has loaned more than 7.5mm in tools & equipment to 500 organizations equipping 115,000 volunteers on 20,000 projects. Through our tools for change tool lending program, we have saved the nonprofit sector in central Virginia over 7mm. These savings are plowed back into the services and programs our nonprofit members offer, which enables them to do more with limited resources available, year after year. Toolbank's building change program fills a growing need for outdoor furniture and placemaking infrastructure by leveraging the use of our extensive tool inventory and the power of volunteers. We provide an open request form to any Community organization that experiences a need, and we fulfill those needs continually. Since 2016 we've built over 3,200 outdoor furniture items that have been donated to over 200 parks, Community centers, schools, and public spaces.
