Annual Fundraising Campaign
Update January 24, 2023
Thank you to our supporters and volunteers, we received more than double the amount of our original goal, with a grand total of $4,670 for the campaign. We met our stretch goals, purchasing many tools from our wish list, that we will share with our wonderful community.
We also have a few T-shirts available to purchase at the ToolBox Project for $20 each. These beautiful cotton T-shirts are printed locally by Threadbare Print House using high quality, sustainably minded, water-based screen printing.

We share tools, skills, and knowledge to empower people and build community. That’s the simple mission that keeps the ToolBox Project moving forward. As a ToolBox supporter you are that community and we want to thank you for growing with us this past year.
In 2022 more than 500 households
used our tools more than 3500 times
Together we shared lawn mowers, tile saws, and air compressors; tools used to maintain and improve our homes, yards, and businesses; and to complete projects from door trim and paver patios to camper van conversions!
This year we have:
This year we have:
- added 217 tools (and counting) to our active inventory of more than 1,400 tools. That includes a brand new, more powerful power washer, a 16-foot extension ladder, and an appliance dolly. Check out our growing inventory online, or stop by in person and say hi!
- continued tool maintenance and upkeep, ensuring that the tools you access are useful and safe.
- partnered with the City of Eugene and the University of Oregon Outdoor Program on three Fix-It Fairs, featuring electronics repair, textiles and sports equipment mending, tool and knife sharpening, small appliance repair, and more, and raising awareness of repair as an option while diverting waste from the landfill.
- collaborated with the Friendly Area Neighbors Transportation Team to provide tools for a June Prune event, helping neighbors keep their sidewalks properly cleared of vegetation for people walking and rolling in their neighborhood.
As we look forward to what's next,
we ask you to join us once again
in supporting the ToolBox Project.
We will be:
- adding new tools to inventory,
- partnering with both the City of Eugene and Lane County to schedule Fix-It Fairs throughout the county,
- and continuing to provide people the tools they need for their projects, without having to buy, store, and maintain them at home or work.
