Friends of Toolbox

United by a shared belief in the artistry, dignity, and humanity of craft, our friends help bring exhibitions, storytelling, public programs, cultural events, and community gatherings to life. Their support takes many forms — mentorship, hands-on labor, exhibition installation, photography, flowers, food, youth participation, donations, encouragement, and time.

Together, they help build a more connected, creative, and compassionate community through the trades and the arts.

Founding Supporters

A special thank you to our earliest supporters whose generosity helped launch Toolbox and support future youth programming.

The Eberwein Family

Toolbox received a generous donation from the Eberwein Family — longtime supporters of both the arts and construction communities. Their contribution marks the first philanthropic gift to Toolbox and an important milestone in the organization’s early growth. We are deeply grateful for their belief in our mission and the work we are building together.

Cole — Youth Contributor (Age 10)

Toolbox received a thoughtful and generous contribution from Cole, a young artist whose gift was specifically dedicated to future Youth Art Programs. This meaningful act of support represents Toolbox’s first youth contribution and reflects the spirit of creativity, generosity, and community we hope to nurture future generations.
