That's a Wrap on our First Giving Tuesday Campaign!

The Catch the Buzz Campaign certainly created a buzz... and much more!

53 individual donors with the largest gift being an amazing $818
$10,961.50 raised ($3,961.50 above target!)
5 new tools will be purchased
AND NOW! A comfortable contingency fund for quick repairs or replacements when you need them!

We couldn't have done it without your support. Thank you so much!
We blew through our Matching Donor threshold of $2,000. Thank you Loen Design!
AND, thank you to our two major donors - both of whom donated a whopping $2,000 each! One wishes to remain anonymous and the other is Sherman Cameron Associates Limited! THANK YOU!

What Happens Next?
Your Board of Directors will approve the purchase of the equipment (looking for the best deal on pricing, of course!) and we will work towards getting the tools into circulation as soon as possible.



The Ottawa Tool Library is a not-for-profit organization. We rely on membership fees, grants, fundraising, sponsorships, and event revenue to fund our mission.

In December, we will be reaching out with a membership drive renewal campaign. If you've had a good experience at the library, please make it a priority to renew your membership so we can continue to provide you with an amazing space to make friendships, build our skills, keep things out of the landfill and promote the recycling of resources. Thank you again for your participation in the campaign, 

Your Board of Directors, 
Jim Potter, David Reid, Stephanie Simard, and Bettina Vollmerhausen
