Before borrowing ToolBank tools, you’ll need to become a ToolBank member and verify that you’re a not-for-profit organization. The process is easy and doesn’t cost a thing! All you need to do is complete our brief online application and we’ll quickly review. Currently, only not-for-profit organizations are eligible for a ToolBank membership, such as:
- Nonprofit/Charitable/Tax exempt organizations
- Schools and PTAs/PTOs
- Neighborhood associations
- Faith-based groups
- Civic organizations
- Government agencies
A 501(c)3 tax exempt determination letter is not a requirement for ToolBank membership.
