Richmond ToolBank is a nonprofit organization dedicated to lending tools and equipment to community-based organizations and volunteers. As a proud affiliate of ToolBank USA, a national network of 11 other chapters along with ToolBank Disaster Services & Hubs across the nation, Richmond ToolBank is part of a powerful movement transforming tool access into community impact nationwide.

In a region where under-resourced nonprofits and community groups often lack access to the equipment needed to tackle critical neighborhood challenges, Richmond ToolBank bridges that gap and transforms tool access into community power. Our extensive inventory features over 10,000 tools, all aimed at supporting our mission to empower ambitious goals for community initiatives and their members. By borrowing tools from ToolBank, community organizations can significantly increase their volunteer capacity and concentrate on their essential work, rather than worrying about storage, space, funds, and the time required to maintain tools.

Our slogan, "Tools for Change," encapsulates the purpose of Richmond ToolBank. We believe that everyone has an innate ability to contribute to something greater than themselves. Furthermore, Richmond ToolBank is committed to sustainability, working diligently to minimize environmental waste by reducing packaging and plastic usage.
