Cville Tool Library

The Cville Tool Library is built by neighbors, for neighbors. We believe access beats ownership, and that everyone deserves the tools they need to fix a sink, build a garden bed, repair a porch, or try something new. Your donation keeps our shelves stocked, our tools safe and maintained, and skills-building workshops and membership accessible to all. In 2026, we’re raising $25,000 to power this next chapter, covering our move to larger quarters, building out the new space, and creating a modest cushion so we can grow sustainably and serve more neighbors - without skipping a beat. Here’s what your gift can do: $25 keeps tools sharp, safe, and in circulation $50 sponsors a one-year membership for a neighbor with limited income $100 helps build shelving and storage in our NEW(!) expanded space $250 replaces aging equipment (like our circulation computer) or purchases high-demand tools $500 underwrites a free community workshop or upgrades essential shop infrastructure Explore our member projects blog to see what happens when neighbors have access to the tools they need. Your support helps turn the community’s next wave of ideas into real, finished projects. Even better? Become a monthly Tool Champion. A recurring gift of $15–$25/month keeps tools circulating year-round and helps us plan confidently for growth. Small monthly gifts are what keep the lights on, the system running, and the tools ready for the next neighbor. Gifts of $100 or more will be recognized on our "Community Building Crew" wall in our new space, celebrating the community that makes the Cville Tool Library possible.
