Campaign for 2626 Main Street

Support a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform The Tool Library's home into a community hub to gather, learn, grow, and share

We have launched a capital campaign to raise $1 million for the purchase and renovation of our historic building at 2626 Main Street.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of donors, foundations and the Western New York community, we’re halfway to our goal! Launched in April 2024, Phase 1 of the capital campaign reached its $500,000 goal in September 2024.

Now, we’re turning our focus to Phase 2 of the campaign, with a goal of raising another $500,000 for critical renovations and building enhancements to bring The Tool Library’s full vision to life.

When we moved into this space, you helped us move 4,500 tools in under 3 hours flat. Now we need you to help more than ever to ensure we have the firm foundation to continue building a sharing economy that focuses on meeting people’s basic needs, reducing inequality, and improving quality of life for all in WNY.

Make a gift, create a peer-to-peer fundraiser, or share our campaign with your community and help us realize a home of our own!
