In-Kind Donations

Your donation of tools is critical to the success of our tool lending program. Tools require a lot of care and attention, from blade replacements to oil changes, and so your donation of accessories and supplies are equally important. We gladly accept donations of new and gently used tools, tool accessories, repair/maintenance supplies, consumable project supplies, and other items that can be used in our warehouse or office.

As we operate on an appointment-only basis, to make an in-kind donation to the Cincinnati ToolBank, please contact our Tool Lending Program Manager, at (513) 246-0015 or cincinnati@toolbank.org to make an appointment.

Top Tool, Accessory & Supply Needs

Donations of tools are incorporated into our lending inventory whenever possible. Donations of tools that don’t fit into our inventory are either sold during a ToolRush Sale or given to other organizations that can use them.

Donations of materials and consumable project supplies that are compatible with our inventory are distributed to our member agencies when they borrow tools. For example, donated paint tray liners are offered to member agencies when they borrow paint trays. Donations of materials incompatible with our inventory are either sold during a ToolRush Sale or given to other organizations that can use them.

If you would like to make an in-kind donation of tools or supplies to the Cincinnati ToolBank, please send us a description and pictures of the donation to cincinnati@toolbank.org.
