Donate
Every tool we make is given to the student who needs it. Donations are what make that possible — they cover the materials and the design time so that cost is never the reason a child goes without.
Where your donation goes
Giving here pays for the making of tools, not for selling them.
Materials
Filament, fasteners, and the flexible and food-safe plastics that some tools need. This is the cost that scales directly with the number of students reached.
Design time
The hours between a request and a finished object: measuring, modelling, printing a first version, finding out what is wrong with it, and printing the next one.
Revisions and regrows
A tool a student has outgrown gets reprinted at a new size, and a broken part gets replaced. Funding this is what keeps a tool useful for years rather than months.
Keeping tools free
Families and schools are not charged for what they receive. Every donation is what stands between a student and a price tag.
Needs a spending breakdown
add the actual split of spending between programs, equipment, and administration once the organization has figures. Donors reasonably expect this, and it should not be estimated.
