Help Us Raise $10,000 for DTL's SHARE THE TOOLS FUND 💪 🩵 🛠️
This Colorado Gives Day, your donation helps build equity, one tool at a time.
Everyone deserves access to the tools they need to keep their homes safe, functional, and creative. And local organizations need tools to maintain their spaces and power community projects that make Denver stronger.
That’s why we created Denver Tool Library's SHARE THE TOOLS FUND: to make sure cost is never a barrier to access.
HOW IT WORKS
Every dollar you give goes into DTL's SHARE THE TOOLS FUND, which provides:
Free and discounted tool library memberships to individuals and organizations who need them most
Discounted access to DTL classes and open workshop hours that build confidence and skills
The tools, space, and staff needed to keep this valuable program running
As long as there’s money in the fund, we can keep sharing the tools in a way that's both equitable and sustainable for our community! 💪 🩵 🛠️
YOUR GIFT DIRECTLY SUPPORTS:
Expanding our Financial Assistance program for members & community partners
Adding the most in-demand tools to our community collection to meet member needs
Repairing and maintaining the 5,000+ tools that keep Denver DIY-ing

Thank you!! 💪 🩵 🛠️
The Denver Tool Library is an inclusive nonprofit that provides skill-based education and affordable access to thousands of tools for home improvement, artistic expression, and community development.
We remove barriers to tool access—including cost, space, and knowledge—so that everyone can have the resources they need to make and maintain the lives they imagine.
Whether you’re a first-time drill user or a seasoned builder, there’s a place for you at the DTL.
Join us to save money, reduce waste, and build community.
1) ACCESS: Tools are expensive, take up space, and may only get used once or twice per year. By pooling our resources together we create a much greater and more affordable variety of items for everyone.
2) SUSTAINABILITY: The process it takes to manufacture the items we buy often leaves a significant negative impact. By building the things we need and repairing them (rather than buying new), and sharing tools instead of duplicating them in every house, we reduce this negative impact on our planet.
3) COMMUNITY: Our digital age offers unlimited potential for connection but at times leave us isolated or out of touch with our physical bodies. Community oriented spaces like the DTL connect us directly to people who have similar passions to scheme, learn, tinker, and build, while we experience the satisfaction of working with our hands.
4) SKILL-BUILDING: Whether it's through classes, resource recommendations, or shared knowledge from staff, peers, and volunteers, every person can learn how to use the tools they need to express themselves and accomplish their projects.
