The nonprofit organization presents evidence of strategic thinking and goal setting through sharing their most important strategic goals.
Goal One: We're launching a Tool Lending Satellite in Richmond's Southside to boost housing affordability and community vibrancy. This self-sustaining program provides essential tools, empowering CBOs and residents to repair homes, revitalize parks, and transform vacant lots. It's direct action for lasting change, supporting environmental goals and sustainability for Richmond's Southside.
Goal Two: We're boosting housing stability and community wealth in Richmond for low-income and BIPOC homeowners. ToolBOX will serve 2,500 residents in two years, equipping them with home maintenance skills. We'll optimize our facility, provide tools, and launch mobile workshops in underserved areas like Southside/East End. This empowers residents to save, build equity, and strengthen their neighborhoods.
Goal Three: Our 10,000 sq ft warehouse, housing over 10,000 tools (300 types), now limits our Tools for Change program, ToolBOX workshops, and Building Change sessions. To expand our vital community services, we are launching a capital campaign for a new, larger Richmond ToolBank facility. Our current infrastructure simply cannot meet growing demand.
