ORGANIZATION: Chicago Community ToolBank

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
  • 17 people are interested

The Chicago Community ToolBank serves the nonprofit community by lending high quality tools, like hammers, rakes, wheelbarrows, and drills to other nonprofits. We allow them to do more and larger projects in our community.

The ToolBank is just getting started in Chicago and we need help getting organized. We will be sorting and putting into inventory our tools, painting them blue, assembling racking, and just plain getting organized. The ToolBank only employees one person so we rely on volunteers to help us out!

Please contact us if you are interested!

About Chicago Community ToolBank

Location:

1500 S Western Ave, Suite 1AN1, Chicago, IL 60608, US

Mission Statement

The ToolBank stewards an inventory of tools for lending to charitable organizations to increase the impact of their mission-related efforts in the community.

Description

The ToolBank lends tools to charitable organizations that prove charitable intent. Tools may be borrowed for up to eight weeks. The use of ToolBank equipment for personal benefit is prohibited. All visitation to the ToolBank is by appointment only. Following successful online registration with their local ToolBank, the charitable organization becomes a ToolBank Member Agency. To obtain tools, a Member Agency representative submits their tool order online no less than two business days from the time they wish to pick up the tools. Tool orders may be made up to 120 days in advance, and once approved, the ToolBank guarantees availability of your requested tools. The Member Agency pays a Tool Handling Fee, calculated by the following formula: Total retail value of borrowed tools X number of weeks borrowed x 3%
