AMPLIFY
Maximizing Impact Through Tool Lending & Training
The Houston ToolBank serves community-based organizations by providing tools, equipment, and expertise to empower their most ambitious goals. Our vision is to uplift communities with tools for change; we optimize resources and build capacity for nonprofits and other tax exempt organizations through our Tool Lending Program, Disaster Preparedness and Response Support, and hands-on training through our Tool School Program.
How it
Works
Charitable organizations and tax-exempt entities have year-round access to our tool inventory.
Send an order through our portal to borrow tools and equipment for a nominal fee.
Pick up at the ToolBank or a Neighborhood Tool Hub, or schedule a direct delivery.
Return your clean, well-maintained tools that can go on to serve more communities.
Once a member, you become part of a network of nonprofits empowered by Houston ToolBank inventory!
Tool School
We work directly with schools and training groups to provide enriching projects with hands-on experience. Our training program embraces our mission to share and foster expertise in the safe usage of hand and power tools.
Tools for Change
Tools for Change is an opportunity for people from around the greater Houston area to come together to build picnic tables in support of our local schools and community organizations. Corporate groups and individuals can sign up for a shift to build a picnic table, while enjoying games, food, beer and more!
Axes & Aces
Join the Houston ToolBank, our partners, and our friends at our annual Axes & Aces Charity Poker Tournament. The event fosters fellowship and fun that benefits the ToolBank’s mission to amplify community impact.
